Butterflies seek their nectar
Plant and they will come

Attracts bees and butterflies
Large showy flowers

Allergy sufferers need not worry about being around sneezeweed. Interesting that this flower has a history of use when crushed to make a form of snuff that caused sneezing. Fascinating! Legend also says that these flowers sprang from the ground where Helen of Troy’s tears fell.
Come honey makers
Pollinate the bee magic
Summer please bring them

When buying seeds for spring planting, consider growing flowers that attract honey bees and butterflies and end the use of harmful pesticides that kill the honey bee population and harm the butterfly cycle of life.
