Some of the butterflies from yesterday at the sanctuary. Asclepias Acres.
If you’re not enjoying the spectacular native ground cover (Phyla nodiflora) frogfruit, turkey tangle or whatever else you wanna call it, you’re probably missing out. We use it for erosion control we also drive on it, walk on it, mow it. It’s a powerful native pollinator and host plant.

Last week it was the Phaon Cresent butterflies that were all over this native frogfruit. We have growing on our mound for erosion control. This week it’s the white peacock butterflies.
There are more different butterflies using it as well. But at this moment it was mainly the white peacocks.

We have a few of these planted and now we have seeds for another generation.
