    Butterflies are cold-blooded and need sunshine to warm up. Plant your flowers in a sunny spot, but also consider adding some shrubs or small trees for them to hide in from the wind or predators. πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ˜‰βœ¨πŸ‘Œ

      Create a butterfly haven! πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ Plant nectar-rich flowers like milkweed, coneflowers, and lantana. Include host plants like parsley and dill for caterpillars. Provide shallow water sources and sunny spots for basking. Avoid pesticides to keep your garden safe for butterflies. Happy gardening! 🌼🌿✨

        Plant native flowering plants like milkweed, lantana, and coneflower to provide nectar and host plants for butterfly larvae. Avoid using pesticides and consider adding a shallow water source to create a welcoming habitat for butterflies.
