Mimosa Trees and Butterflies

Because of the large amount of blooms in the yard and because there is Butterfly Weed growing (Yes that is what it is called) there are butterflies here from early morning to dusk.  I let a few mimosa trees grow and they are in bloom now. Enter the Monarchs, and the Red Admirals and the Spice Bush Swallowtails. The scent from the mimosa fills the backyard as the lilac did a few months ago. With the gentle breezes we always have on the coast it makes it even more spectacular.

I love Butterflies and Mimosas! They naturally go together!
