In preparation for this Big Butterfly Count – the charity Butterfly Conservation (in partnership with Marks & Spencer) is launching the national Planting for Butterflies campaign on April 4th to encourage people to plant butterfly-friendly plants in their gardens. The top five nectar plants they recommend are: Buddleja, Verbena bonariensis, the Perennial Wallflower (Bowles Mauve), Lavender and Marjoram (Oregano). For more information about butterfly friendly gardening, visit www.butterfly-conservation.org. The count takes place from the 16 – 31July 2011.
Beautiful picture! I love butterflies and have many plantings they love. Thanks for sharing…
Aha, splendid stuff! Will certainly be taking part again this year.
