This is a Cabbage White Butterfly on my flowering mint today. It is not supposed to be in the desert! |
Catering to the hummingbirds and butterflies. |
So we have many baskets full of both flowers hanging or in borders.
The flowers are regularly visited by generations of Anna's hummingbirds that live and nest in our yard. The mom hummingbirds use spider webs to make the nest. They nests are so tiny, a little larger than the size of a computer key.

Painted Lady on Rabbit Brush, grows naturally here. |
Our home is in a rural area near Mojave Narrows Regional Park, so I can't take much credit for attracting the birds, bees, and butterflies. But I try to make them happy.
I'm glad to report our bees are very active and productive.

Thank you, Friend Bee, for pollinating the apricot trees. The apricots will be delicious! |
