Butterflies are back!


It is when one can spot a butterfly, it is clear that the rainy season is behind and the winter is about to set in. It is during the winter season they multiply! Of all the flowers they go after for nectar, I find their traction towards the Lantana flowers. We have a few bushes of them. For some reason, I suspect that they are fond of nectar from the yellow Lantana flowers!

Our attempt to create Butterfly corners in our garden has worked. We have clusters of Lantana plants in three places, one in the backyard with good visibility of it from our dining room. 

A garden is a place which increases the sense of awe and wonder about nature!
