Butterfly plants

What a good idea and the plant has a lovely flower to it :~)

Thank you Pip, it is pretty with a lovely scent :o)

Fantastic idea. Our City Council has Tree Giveaways to encourage people to plant lots more trees in their suburban blocks ... but they certainly don't give away beautiful flowering plants like this!

That's a good idea. How kind and thoughtful of them. I hope you see lots of butterflies this year :o))

excellent idea Neena.
you picked a beautiful plant

I wish my village was as thoughtful!
Brilliant idea ... I didn't realise butterflies were attracted to Dianthus tho'.

Here is a list of plants which attract butterflies nectre feeding plants is what you need.

Thats a great idea as I have planted a lot of pinks.

What a nice gesture!

Sorry I forgot lol very pretty shame more places could nt do this especially the garden centres who thow lots away.

What a lovely thing to do. I hope all the villagers stay faithfull to the PO and it doesn't have to close as so many have. Its use it or lose it I think sometimes.

What a lovely idea, brings a community together. Yes 6d, garden centres could donate them to surrounding villages to do the same thing....perhaps we should suggest it to them?!

We still have our PO, a lot use it including me twice a week....so important to keep them going for those who are unable to get elsewhere.

What alovely thing to do, hope you get plenty of butterflys.

Thank you all for your comments and for liking my blog, It is a super giveaway idea and with all this lovely sunshine we have had lots of butterflies here today!
The P.O. is a central point for lots of village based events, They sold sunflower seeds for us to grow, the tallest will win a prize at the village fete I have 3 at 2" so far lol

nice blog neelan, i love butterflys to, hope you get lots this summer ;o))

Thank you Sanbaz :o)

Thats a smashing gesture on their part and a good way to encourage more people to plant flowers that attract the butterflies.........
