My bare back yard has transformed in a butterfly/ bee/ bird garden. I have planted pampas grass as an accent plant and a place for frogs to hide. 2 Mexican Sage for the Hummingbirds to sip on, Yellow milkweed for the monarchs and bees to feed on. Carnations because well the smell good, Fern leaf lavender, and normal lavender for the honey bees, Blueberry bushes for myself and the birds, Lollipop verbena for butterflies and many many more.
Today my hard work is paying off! I have mocking birds and cardinals hopping around my plants, Butterflies on my butterfly bush, carpenter bees everywhere, honey bees like nobodys business, and tree frogs are starting to show up!
OH! Since I live in florida how could I not buy a Passion Flower vine for our state butterfly? So I managed to snag one of those at Lowes.
If you live in central florida I highly suggest heading over to Duncheons nursery, its right there at 54/41 near the post office. Everyone is so nice, the plant selection is great and the prices are reasonable.
This is a butterfly bush I bought from them, you can see its doing its job. I have drainage problems in my yard so I mounded dirt so it will drain properly.
