Beskrivelse
This colorful, illustrated guide shows
you how simple it can be to start a butterfly garden today!
In this
easy-to-use and brightly illustrated introductory guide, lepidopterist Jaret
Daniels shows beginners how to create a haven for butterflies and other
flower-loving wildlife in Florida and throughout the Deep South.
Updated
in this second edition with new photographs and expanded to include additional
species of butterflies, Your Florida
Guide to Butterfly Gardening offers a thorough look at Florida's most
common garden butterflies and the plants they prefer for food, shelter, and egg
laying. It helps you select plants for a yard where butterflies can live and
return year after year. The book features planting diagrams, simple one-day
container projects, and full garden layouts designed for each of Florida's
three major growing zones and also suitable for gardens in neighboring southern
states.
Full-color
images show common butterflies and their caterpillars, as well as food plants,
host plants, and garden designs. Daniels also discusses current environmental
threats to butterfly species, with a special focus on the monarch butterfly,
describing how humans can play an important role in sustaining native wildlife
populations and promoting biodiversity through our yards and home gardens.
