The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. Children love it!
I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests. If you would like to see more posts like this one, please hop over to my Garden Page.
How pretty is this Swallowtail against my hanging baskets of calibrachoa?!
There is more than one species of Swallowtail that can be black and, frankly, I get them confused. Which one do you think this one is?
What's happening in your back yard?
