This has been a slow year for butterflies in and around our property. We've also done some traveling so it's possible we've missed some action. Currently, we've a Hydrangea in bloom and it is attracting butterflies. Today, a Hydaspe Fritillary sought it out. Our lone buddleia had frozen during this past winter, but has rebounded. It's only beginning to blossom now. It usually attracts lots of butterflies.
