The Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is just gorgeous this year. They have done a beautiful job creating a flower garden with walking paths so that people can really enjoy the natural environment. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There are so many different varieties of flowers that bloom at all different times of the summer.
What a wonderful place to explore and enjoy!
So beautiful – and so complicated!
“Attracting butterflies involves incorporating plants that serve the needs of all life stages of the butterfly. The insects need places to lay eggs, food plants for their larvae (caterpillars), places to form chrysalides and nectar sources for adults.”

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this. I love butterflies and have been coming to the Cape most of my life. I will definitely have to check this out next time I’m there.
