| This is the view that greets the visitor as they round the
bend in the glade. |
 |
| Most seasons the mailbox contains information on the
garden and the participants, but this spring a wren took
residence in our info center. A news letter will be here later in the
season when she has finished with this home. |
 |
| Achillea is one of the main early features of the garden
area cared for by Joyce and Angie. |
 |
| Skippers dance on the liatris as they seek nectar. |
 |
| Star zinnias and day lilies line the path on the right
side of the garden. |
 |
| A bench is available for those who want to just sit and
enjoy the dance of the butterflies for a moment or several hours. Warm,
sunny days are the best for viewing as the butterfly needs a body
temperature of 85 to take flight. |
 |
| Iris and day lilies make a pleasant contrast in the back
section of the garden. The garden is an ever changing scene of
perennials with the constant annuals as fillers. |
 |
| Lambs ear, Stachys byzantina provides a silver accent to
compliment more colorful blooms. |
 |
| State Fair zinnias flank a white buddleia as the
centerpiece. The colorful zinnias are especially attractive to the
butterflies. |
 |
| To the right sedum spectabile lines the path. These plants
will provide late summer and fall blooms. At the bottom of this photo is
coreopsis 'Zagreb' just starting her yellow show. |
