All those years of watching National Geographic specials, and this is the first time I've ever seen or even heard of this type of butterfly! How beautiful!

I never knew there was such a thing! Do you know of a good site or book for finding plants that attract butterflies (and perhaps hummingbirds)well? We are finally working on planning our garden (maybe it's good that we have a little more time, we had a little spring weather last week, but are expecting a huge snowstorm tomorrow - great day for garden research!) We moved into our current house just two years ago - our old yard (the house was 100+ years old and the previous owners had lived there 51 years - sadly it was too small and there was absolutely no room for adding on) was overflowing with overgrown perennials which I appreciate even more now in my bland 1970s house with lovely trees, but very little garden. (By the way, we were also very inspired by your strawberry post). What a beautiful post and those clear-wing butterflies are so amazing! I never knew there was such a thing!
