ks Review of Florida Butterfly Gardening: etc.

Excellent book. I knew what I was getting as I had seen a copy already. Excellent pictures and great verbiage to back it up. Really helps in understanding the topic.

Florida Butterflys

This is the best book I have purchased for butterfys. It has great pictures of the butterflys as well as the caterpillars. It gives you all the information needed to get your own butterfly garden set up.

When they say complete they mean it

I am just starting butterfly gardening and I found so much helpful information. On the other hand, my sister has been butterfly gardening for years, and still found the book helpful. It makes identification of butterflies and caterpillars easy and has many lavish illustrations of both the butterflies and the plants that attract them.

Great Book!

I have had this book for a year and I am always pulling it back out to help purchase butterfly plants and to ID catipillers and butterflys. Lots of excellent pictures of every stage of each Florida butterfly. Excellent lists of plants, both host and nectar. Great pictures of the plants. The only thing I have found missing is any info on when to expect the butterfly's in your garden.
