Now that NZ is well into spring the butterflies are starting to reappear, all our larger species such as the red admiral or yellow admiral have been introduced, the only native types are about as big as your thumb nail, one being a very beautiful lilac colour, we also have the monarch which I have grown swan plants for to attract them into the garden, they winter over round where I live and you can find them in huge clusters in the trees, and yes buddleia is great for attracting the butterflies I did have one but it out grow it's welcome <s> some nimrod also thought it would be a great idea to introduce the white butterfly the pest of the vege garden for ever more. |
