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?

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.

@RebeccasFarm, try to plant butterfly plants and they won't leave 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?

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.

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

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?

@Bullshark, soon those caterpillars will be hatched and you'll see many lovely butterflies.

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

Such a lovely butterfly. I haven't seen butterfly in my location. How I always imagine a butterfly to fly over my cute flowers and get a shot and share to my friends.
