You and I share this love! It was so exciting to me at our last house to see the caterpillars and butterflies appear from the things we had planted. It's just really important that people learn a little about this process to know not to kill those caterpillars.
ReplyDeleteWhat an enjoyable and appropriate post for a peaceful Sunday, Bonnie. You took some amazing photos of the stages of a butterfly. I haven't seen many butterflies in our garden here in Birmingham, but I have seen several at the lake and many bees! This has definitely been a summer for bees.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Wow!!! so beautiful.. you captured such amazing things in your lens...

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful. I loved looking at all the stages and reading the excitement in your words. Butterflies are one of the joys of living.

Wow, lots of wonderful butterfly activity is happening in your garden!
ReplyDeleteThis was an amazingly educational post, Bonnie. Thank you for being so observant in the garden and sharing! I have many adult butterflies but have never paid close enough attention to capture the life cycles, and certainly don't know all the varieties. I don't plant milkweed, but do have sassafras, and don't use pesticides. I love how you noticed the mother circling around the young while you were attempting photography! Great post.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, thank you for sharing your interest and knowledge of butterflies. I could only identify the monarch but admire all. We enjoy their beauty in our garden as well. Now, I will take more interest in the miracles happening in the gardens. Great post.........
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I'm all aflutter over your post! I'm always thrilled to see butterflies in the garden but have never had any swallowtails visit my parsley. Love seeing the caterpillars and pupa! Thanks for the link too on the 10 amazing facts, I need to make a puddling stone. Gulf Fritillary visit my garden every year and devour my purple passionflower vine. The chrysalis resembles a dead leaf and easily missed in September and October when things are dry and crispy in the garden. Our Creator is amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful information, Bonnie! I'll pay closer attention to plants in the future. Your pictures are amazing! I do love seeing butterflies of many types flying around our farm. So fun and pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh this is great! Thanks for all the info! My sister always says a butterfly in your garden is a loved one visiting from Heaven:)
ReplyDeleteI am loving this. Right now I am trying to attract more butterflies and hummingbirds so it is definitely a learning process.
ReplyDeleteBut I am loving it, so this is just what I needed to read right now.
Wow, Bonnie, I loved your lesson on butterflies! So beautiful! A very good reminder for me to take time and discover what I'm missing out on in my gardens. I'm planting some parsley next year. God's creation is so amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery educational post Bonnie. Love knowing more about these amazing butterflies. They are beautiful and a pleasure to have in our gardens. Thanks for sharing at DI&DI.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! I have never been able to follow a butterfly long enough to witness something like this. You captured some terrific images and I love how you explained the stages. I have a lot of plants the butterflies love to visit including the Butterfly Plant. I have three milkweed plants I allowed to grow in one of my beds but I am worried they'll become too invasive. I hope the word spreads more and more about the need to help the monarch's and to let the milkweeds grow.
ReplyDeleteThis post is such a wonderful reminder, Bonnie, to look, look, look for things in our world. We do get so used to the usual, don't we. But here we see something so special, unique, so very beautiful, "right in your own backyard." I love the photos and the info you shared -- learned a lot here!
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post. Now I will be looking for eggs and pupae. I have never seen either one. You are so kind to share all this knowledge and research with us..
Love, Mona
Bonnie, I echo all of the above comments! What an educational and beautiful post for all of us to learn and admire the shots that you were able to get! We have milkweed in our lower pasture...I need to be aware this fall! Thanks so much for sharing all of your first-hand knowledge at Gardens Galore! The Creator meticulously designed all of His perfect creation, how can we not be amazed?!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous post, I love butterflies!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, your pictures are beautiful and your butterfly excitement is contagious!! I was so happy last Fall when the monarchs passed through and stopped at my garden.
ReplyDeleteBonnie: A beautiful and informative post, not to mention the fabulous pictures. This post is worthy for a classroom science lesson.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely and I have met a kindred soul. Happy Gardening !
Good Afternoon Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteOh my what a wonderful blessing from God to witness the cycle of life. You have positively captured the process perfectly and with such clarity, explanations and photographs. This was exciting to witness and I so enjoyed this post! Just like you the garden is my place of joy, comfort and wonder!
Happy Gardening Day to you!
Jemma
Thank you dear for your beautiful comment.. XOXO
ReplyDeleteReally cool that you captured this. I know you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteOh. my. goodness!!!! This whole process is amazing! You "know" about it, but SEEING it is incredible! I know even more so in real life. Thank you, Bonnie, for capturing this little miracle in your back yard. Just WOW! blessings ~ tanna
