I’d like to try this recipe and see what comes to my yard. I was just thinking, during my hike in the Llano river this weekend, how beautiful and quiet butterflies are. I love that one flittered up to me and landed on my finger when I pretended to be a Disney damsel. Next, birds should dress me each morning.
hummingbird nectar (4 cups water with 1 cup sugar)
fresh watermelon
butterfly mash (over-ripe bananas, beer, and brown sugar mixed in a blender and allowed to ferment).
From Central Texas Gardener Blog.
Also from that blog, identification of a vine that, although I used to pretend were the briars around my sleeping-beauty daydreams, is gonna soon bid adieu from my garden. Yard, fine. Garden? No way. I go there barefoot, thank you.
This is Smilax bona-nox. It’s mainly nox. G’bye! (Pic stolen from same blog as above.)
