Violets for the Fritillaries!

Filed under: Butterfly Garden — Butterflygirl @ 1:17 pm

The wild violets that grow in our yard – Viola sororia are host plants for the Variegated Fritillary – I had one lay a bunch of eggs on them last year! Unfortunately, I’ve been very bad and have not added the pictures of the eggs or caterpillars to my site yet. Anyway, these violets were blooming very nicely when I took these pictures.
