I wish you great joy there. That wildflower meadow, especially, sounds like something I'd love to see sometime once its done. Are you planning to grow only native wildflowers there? Somehow, I find that the butterflies and bees prefer the natives. It must be like a taste that they've grown used to! <br />Yes, in India the lantana bushes are always buzzing with activity. The hybrid lantanas are not quite so popular, though.<br />Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-42564048648979405502018-02-10T19:27:03.746+05:302018-02-10T19:27:03.746+05:30Beautiful as ever, Sunita.

New in the garden this year--if my seeds sprout this spring--will be dozens more plants specifically grown for nectar-feeding bees, butterflies and others. I would love it, too if some ended up being larval host plants. It sounds like I'm just trying to grow a cafeteria, but it's going to be beautiful, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-54142359486752542282018-02-10T02:52:36.829+05:302018-02-10T02:52:36.829+05:30Hi Sunita,
Great to hear from you again. I neglect...Hi Sunita,<br />Great to hear from you again. I neglected my blog a little last year, as life kind of got in the way. We have inherited my father's house, which is situated in a beautiful woodland, with a large pond and a stream running through the property. He was a biologist and did much to enhance the place for wildlife and we are hoping to continue his good work. I have plans for a wild flower meadow and have taken cuttings and bought various plants that will attract butterflies and bees. So, we hope to share the place with a lot of wildlife. We have similar thoughts to you, as some of the wildlife can be rather destructive.<br />I love Lantana, but sadly we can't grow it here. I always search out Lantana when we are on holiday in hot countries knowing that they attract butterflies.Nick Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431235724349702199noreply@blogger.com
