A variety of butterflies are attracted by the amazing native azalea show in our area.

I have lots of marigolds planted for the butterflies and as pest control for tomatoes, peppers, and daturas planted in my raised bed.

I was able to get very close as they were very intent on their task.
We do nothing but prune after the bloom and use compost as fertilizer. They love the naturally acidic soil and we love them.
All the azaleas grow next door on our property that is very shady and wooded. We have mostly varieties native to the central Florida area.
