Butterfly Gardening for Texas (Volume 46) (Louise Lindsey Merrick Natural Environment Series)

Very informative video if you want a butterfly garden, I wish photos of caterpillars were included with the butterflies.

This book is well written and fairly non-technical, easy to understand, and brings together in one place pictures and text of many species each with itʻs own gorgeous photograph of an adult, caterpillar, instar, chrisalides, nectar sources, and food plants.The book is a wonderful source of ideas for those who are contemplating gardens that will attract and keep these creatures in the difficult gardening environment that is Texas. Itʻs a must have book for those who are interested in these beautiful creatures and want to understand what is necessary to keep them around the garden and increase their populations. Kudos to Ms. Ajilvsgi

This book has great photos of butterflies and the plants they need for survival for every region in Texas. I read it to add more variety to my gardens.

A lovely book and complete compilation of gardening with butterflies that I will enjoy and learn from for years to come. I was fortunate to see an interview with the author on an Austin gardening program. Her knowledge is profound. She doesn't just write about it - she gardens and then writes about her experience and what experience she has!

The book is a little more intensive than I had thought it would be. I thought it was going to be a smaller book that I could carry around like Geyata Ajilvsgi's flower identification book. However, Butterfly Gardening will help me plant the right plants for catepillars and then the right plants for nectar. It will be a wonderful aide.

There are other butterfly books around but this is the first of which I'm aware that focuses on Texas. It does exactly what it sets out to do, which is exactly what I hoped.I'm setting out planters and perimeter blooms IAW directions here in hopes of beautifying my area and help in protecting otherwise threatened bugs.

Just what I needed for information on butterfly plants and how to grow them. Lots of growing tips and practical how to advice. Texas is a rough place to garden and you need all the help you can get. Specific growing instructions for plants for food and butterfly larva.

A sure fire coffee table book that will be picked up and looked at by all ages. The cover alone will attract everyone. Plus a guide to every gardener who wants to see more butterflies in their gardens, and to help improve the world's ecology for all butterfly species.
