I do not feel as if I have all the proper nectar and host plants for them either. I do have weeds. They seem to like the native plants. <BR/>Giant Swallowtail is very large and beyond beautiful.<BR/>Winged Fairies...<BR/>I think these beauties would be flying the Fairies from woodlands to woodlands.<BR/>Supersized butterflies.<BR/>I just get to take the pictures..<BR/>Mother Nature provides the subjects. She is good!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-52034514668816725252007-08-03T10:23:00.000-05:002007-08-03T10:23:00.000-05:00"Winged fairies" is right!

I had not seen Giant since May. <BR/>It will take a few years of growth for the plants to be of any good size for all the different Swallowtails but I have a nice beginning. Just planting the red Zinnias has offered food for them.<BR/>Once the sunflowers bloom there will be another set of nectar rich plants for the Swallowtails.<BR/>Each day I try to learn a little bit more on the best way to care for the birds and the butterflies.<BR/>Thank you for sharing in the awareness that Mother Earth is alive and well. All we have to do is walk in her beauty with respect.<BR/>She will grace each of us with her bounty.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-24514177515032041712007-08-02T22:30:00.000-05:002007-08-02T22:30:00.000-05:00*****Oh what a tresure Giant Swallowtail is!

Bigger than a Hummingbird!<BR/>I could do a "landscape photo" but I like the full frame when it comes to butterflies and birds. I too like to see the details and the colors.<BR/>I am wowed by the Giant Swallowtail. I have not seen one for a couple of months.<BR/>Once I get those Prickly-ash planted I could have a nice colony started of the Giants! I would love that!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-21116954215701829922007-08-02T20:11:00.000-05:002007-08-02T20:11:00.000-05:00Your photos are incredible!You allow us to see up ...Your photos are incredible!You allow us to see up close and minute details!
