Sugden Regional Park
I just had to share, what for me is, an exciting milestone. At
Sugden Butterfly Garden we planted a Wild Lime Tree over a year ago in the
hopes of attracting Giant Swallowtails. Almost every time any of us are at the
garden we check this tree looking for activity…2 weeks ago we were rewarded
with caterpillars and eggs. Yesterday after much searching I found chrysalis. I
doubt we can time seeing the butterfly emerge - so the butterfly picture is a
stock photo.
And here is a cool video of a butterfly playground…because
of all the rain this low spot has not been mowed and it is now a beautiful spot
to enjoy butterflies. There had to be at least 20+ flyers.
