While in Holland, in Winterswijk, I enjoyed a stroll down some of the trails surrounding the hotel where we stayed.
Upon returning to the hotel after one of my strolls down this pretty trail, I came across a butterfly garden.
This charming little building was at one side of the garden.
An information board showing the many different species of butterflies which visit the garden.
It was nice to walk the narrow mulched paths around all the plants, looking for butterflies.
There were many plants I could name, and just as many I could not.
Looks a lot like a hardy geranium.
So pretty.
A lovely poppy.
Another of mother natures works of art.There were not many butterflies, perhaps we were a little too early in the season.
A beautiful place to visit, one that I hope we get to see one day.
ReplyDeleteAnd today I saw my first Butterfly of the season, finally.

That last poppy is beautiful, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many butterflies yet, either, but I have seen a few. Maybe those are the scouts, checking to see where the good flowers and host plants are.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place to visit. I enjoyed your photos.
What a lovely place! I saw many butterflies this weekend at the Flower Show and a few starting to show up in my yard - finally! -Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, We're seeing both swallowtails and painted ladies flutter through now and then. Beautiful photos. I'm pretty sure the hardy Geranium is 'Patricia.' What a peaceful walk it must have been.
ReplyDeleteHow charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for that hotel to add to their landscape! Love it:-D
ReplyDeleteStill very pretty!

ReplyDeleteI would enjoy a butterfly garden too.
