Attract butterflies to your garden with a wide variety of plants. Doris Fons of Wisconsin has planted her garden to welcome butterflies in every stage of their development. Her hospitality provides spots for sunning and laying eggs, host plants for hungry caterpillars, shallow water sources, and safe harbor when the time comes for metamorphosis.
