Common Buckeye #butterflies on Gregg’s Mistflower in the front garden. Since it appears that the seasons-change in SE Texas has been cancelled, with daily temps more summer-like than anything approximating autumn, I went ahead and bought some end-of-season-on-sale native perennial butterfly attractor plants and got them in the ground. Success so far, these are the first buckeyes I’ve seen in our garden.

Monarch butterfly habitat creation and California wildflower field.
1st step: Just finishing the irrigation.
Next step: Wait until weeds sprout.
Since it has been a dry fall, sprinklers will have to do the job to get the plot ready before the rainy season.
Step III. after 2 to 3 week lightly till sprouted weeds into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil.
Phase IV: plant plugs of native milkweed in clumps of 3 to 5 plants. and broadcast wildflower seed mix.
I will post updates .

Below is the picture of the bare quarter acre field in Escondido, California, showing the trenches where the irrigation pipe was laid. Hope to get the ground prepared before the winter rains.

Closing on a new to us home in a few weeks. I want to turn the backyard in to a natural area supporting wildflowers and butterflies etc. would love some resources for designing this and getting started. It’s in Smyrna (Atlanta, OTP) if that helps.

It's been too long since I did a photo of the day so I'm going to drop 4 at once. These are all plants inside our Butterfly Pavilion which is opening on March 4th.
We hope to have nearly 1000 native Florida butterflies on display that day.
