Includes the best of Florida's native flowering plants that attract and
feed native butterflies. These are the plants that naturally supported
themore than 160 butterfly species that bred in Florida well before the
impacts of man became noticeable. The book is also about the butterflies
themselves--for it is only by understanding what butterflies are that we
can be effective in providing for them. Finally, this publication is
about using our knowledge of butterflies and plants to design a
butterfly garden. Property owners throughout Florida can use this book
to create their own butterfly gardens using the plants native to their
region of the state, and these gardeners, entrusted with the welfare of
their butterflies, will form a network of environmental stewards that
will help balance whatever impacts the future holds in store for
Florida.
