This morning I went over to the Mobile Botanical Gardens to see if they had a Butterfly Garden. I hoped I'd find some new kind of easy keeper plant that would attract butterflies. They didn't have a butterfly garden, so I thought I'd just wander around. I found this unusual looking plant - sorta looks like a sea anemone, doesn't it?
Being a lazy kind of gardener myself, I was happy to see that even pro-gardens have some local morning glories growing wild in their beds.
I saw this on Spice Bush Swallowtail around the double blooming azaleas..
The air around these gingers was wonderfully fragrant.... I might have to get some of these plants.
These berries will soon turn red, but they were quite lovely against the silvery foliage.
I wandered around towards the back of the garden and finally found some flowers that had lots of little butterflies around them and this Spice Bush Swallowtail resting above on some leaves.
I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but looking at the butterfly page, I think this is a Horace's Duskywing.
These next two shots, I'm not sure at all. The closest thing I could find might be a Long Tailed Skipper. Lovely turquoise blue in the middle..
I couldn't find anything that match this little beauty either... maybe a Southern Cloudywing??
