With mystical beauty and delicate grace, butterflies amaze and mesmerize us. They decorate our gardens with vibrant color and assist other insects in the pollination of flowers. Do you wish you could attract more of these beautiful creatures to your yard? You can! Easily and quickly, you can transform a small portion of your lawn into a butterfly paradise. Rose Franklin has been invested in, and possibly obsessed with, butterfly gardening for 20 years. She has rated and ranked hundreds of plant species for their attractiveness to butterflies, and then compiled a list of plants that are irresistible to them. This book beautifully illustrates and describes the top ranking plants. It also intimately introduces you to some of the butterflies you will likely see in your newly-created butterfly garden.
The experimental work has already been done. You can always do a bit of experimenting, if you wish. But author Rose Franklin has already done lots of experimenting--and the novice butterfly gardener is the beneficiary. What kind of milkweed do Monarch butterfly caterpillars like best? The answer's in the book. What plant will Black Swallowtail caterpillars eat if there is no Queen Anne's Lace around? It's in the book. Are there other nectar plants that will attract butterflies as well as butterfly bush? Oh yes. Find out which ones.In her low-key, conversational style, the author encourages and informs the beginning butterfly gardener by supplying lots of hints and tried and true techniques. Butterfly gardens are needed now more than ever before, because development is resulting in destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats.With a wealth of references in the resource section, a handy glossary of butterfly terms, and beautiful photos to inspire, I predict that "Fast Track Butterfly Gardening" will launch many "wanna-bees" into the fun and satisfying hobby of enjoying butterflies in their own yard.
