A trip to the Cockrell Butterfly Center at Houston Museum of Natural Science showcases the many butterfly species along with their habitat attracting plants. . The Adult butterfly is drawn to red, yellow, orange, pink and purple blossoms! Exterior Texas uses many of these same plants in our residential Landscape installations for Butterfly, Bee & Bird attraction! . -pentas -durantas -firespike -lantana -buddleia -milkweed -coneflower -cassia -dill -citrus -shrimp plant -chenille -salvias -philodendron & monstera -colocasia & elephant ears . #habitat #habitatattracting #butterfly #birdsandbees #hostplants #nectarplants #cockrellbutterflycenter #houstonmuseumofnaturalscience #landscaping #exteriortexas https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRCM9LPEjj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Say hello to all my baby seedlings! Despite some legginess in just a couple cells, everything is coming in hot! Really happy with this setup, and I’m excited to expand upon this in future seasons. 🌱 #seedstarting #gardenersofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #hostplants #butterflygarden #pollinatorgarden (at Orfordville, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaH9kn2rKl9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a sampling of the seeds I’m starting! 🌱 I’ll have to stratify the common milkweed, but I’m basically planting a small assortment of annuals for pollinators, and host plants for butterfly larvae. 💚 #seedstarting #hostplants #plantmilkweed #plantnative (at Orfordville, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZri6oHr2ck/?utm_medium=tumblr
