My yard this week - I had Monarch, Variegated Fritillary & Tiger Swallowtail on Monday. Tuesday, I added Meadow Fritillary with Cabbage Whites every day. These butterflies are earlier than prior years. I love living near the Amish farmlands & their great greenhouses. So far this year I have planted pansies & violas' (host plant for variegated fritillary), snapdragons (host plant for common buckeye), Lantana, and Zinnia. My swamp milkweed & butterfly weed are just growing enough to support a few eggs.
