Fort Worth Botanical Gardens

Wednesday was a beautiful day at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.  Unfortunately, the butterfly exhibit is over this Sunday, so I'm downloading pictures for your viewing pleasure.
These are all Asian butterflies and moths.  Very different from our Texan cousins.
This exhibit only comes every two years, so plan to look for it in 2016.
If you want to attract butterflies to your yard, look at SeedSource.com for plants that will lure them to you.
Select a sunny area.  Pollinators favorites include Black Eyed Susans, Coneflowers, Lemon Mint, Winecup, Butterfly Weed and the Maximilian Sunflower.
