This bed was strictly built with the butterfly's, bees, and hummingbirds in mind.

One of my favorite Gargoyles watching over my front yard.

Since the plants are already flowering its time for the butterflikes to hover around. You can click them if you have a camera with a zoom feature.

Very nice garden, it will be more so when the plants start to fill out. I can see the need to keep going can be hard to resist. Thanks for sharing.
