Okay, okay. As you all know, fuzzy butterfly slippers really don't nectar from dandelions or any other flowers or fermenting fruit. This was partly to show we still do have butterfly food this late in the year.
It was also to stress the importance of having late blooming flowers, including weeds, in our yards for both butterflies and bees. Ditto in the early spring. You just never know who may need it!
I pick dandelion leaves for salads and for the guinea pigs we've hosted in our home over the years. And as far as insects go, I'm still hoping that Cabbage White that was released the other day is still alive to enjoy these flowers!
