          I have filled my garden with everything butterfly orientated ,from a Buddleia tree to at least 40 different flowers and still not one butterfly to speak of,perhaps its because I am always in the garden:heehee::smile:

            Same here Woo,my garden has never been so full of Butterfly and Bee friendly plants yet they must have had a fall out somewhere down the line because I've never known them be so scarce ,it has been better for Bees this year but where's the Hover flies to:dunno:
