We do not have many butterflies as I notice they like seasonal flowers But our ixora attracts them and here you see this butterfly on one of our yellow ixora. Talking of butterflies I remembere while I was in school I had taken a huge butterfly form my mother's garden to school. I kept it in my desk and the next day there were countless eggs layed there. I do not remember what I did with them I let the butterfly fly away Any butterflies in your garden?

Caterpillars are quite destructive but we just cannot do anything about it as we want to see butterflies. That is a pretty butterfly What flowers are those?

Such lovely memories you have. Not too many butterflies around but I did sew a few this year. Maybe I need to plant butterfly plants.

I don't have a garden so don't see them at home. Yes, I see them in the gardens or the flowers our neighbors have.

What matters is you get to see them no matter in whose garden

I have seen a lot of caterpillars in my garden, but strangely enough no butterflies...

Caterpillars as you know should turn into butterflies. Any reason why they disappear?

@allknowing I guess not if you did not think it was funny. Butterflies in stomach equals nervous. I thought it was funny.

If you have seasonal flowers you will find them We have several perennial ixora flowers and they get attracted to them.
