Plants for Attracting
Birds and Butterflies
|
|||
| Sharing your garden with native wildlife
will make the entire experience a richer one. Birds and butterflies are
of special interest, because of their beauty and interesting behavior
(though many less dramatic animals are equally worth encouraging, in the
scheme of things). The plants listed below are both beautiful for themselves
and useful in drawing birds--particularly hummingbirds--to the garden. K-Z A-J |
