Butterflies to Plant in your Backyard - Happy Wednesday

 

Butterflies to Plant in your Backyard - Happy Wednesday

Don’t these lovely pansies look like butterflies? I never saw these before, and now I’m home trying to figure out where I can plant them. They need lots of sun, lots of water, and a place where I can see them everyday because they make me smile.

Good morning, Toni....I love pansies..... you're so lucky to be able to plant all year round.... the only thing we can plant is a snow shovel in  the the snow banks....

Beautiful -- if it is full sun at the front of the house, put them there and let everyone enjoy as they come to visit with you.   And yes, they do look like butterflies.

Posted by Bud & Beth McKinney - Cary/Raleigh/Apex NC - The Team That Cares, RE/MAX UNITED (RE/MAX UNITED) 4 months ago

Barbara - :) love the snow shovel planting. Do you have to water them?

Josh - thank you.

Bud & Beth - that's what I thought too and it is full sun there. Can't you just see them fluttering around out there.

Toni - very pretty! I'm in the process of doing my yard, and want to focus on native plants that will increase butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds to my yard...

Posted by Carol Zingone, Beaches Expert, Northeast FL (Prudential Network Realty) 4 months ago

Toni,

That's the most unusual coloring on a Pansy I've ever seen. Boutique flowers...I love it.

Beautiful flowers, here in Connecticut we need to wait till end of May before we can plant them.

Posted by David Popoff, Lower Fairfield County, CT. (William Pitt, Sotheby's International Realty, Darien, Ct.) 4 months ago

Carol - I've been doing that for years. I love all the butterflies, bees, birds that visit. Enjoy!

Rich - aren't they just so eye-catching and so cute. Boutique Flowers -  I like that.

David - I'm sorry!

Toni: They really do look like butterflies.  I wish I had a green thumb...I have such a terrible time keeping annuals alive.

Good morning Toni. Wow.....they do look like butterflies and they are just beautiful. Pansies have always been a favorite of mine but they don't do and enjoy them. well for me. Good luck with yours

Posted by Sheila Anderson Central New Jersey Homes for Sale (RE/MAX Country) 4 months ago

Those are really neat looking! Pansies never look that good at my house...gets too hot too fast and I'm too cheap to water all the time. :-)

Posted by Than Maynard Managing Broker 405-527-3012 (Coldwell Banker Heart of Oklahoma) 4 months ago

Toni, this would be a great day to plant these beautiful pansies!    Having year-round colorful flowers would be nice, but would miss the "seasons"!

Posted by Joan Cox, Denver Real Estate-720-231-6373 (Metro Brokers - House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate) 4 months ago

Hi Toni, I don't know why but I've always called them Johnny-Jump Ups, they are only an annual here...it's so nice to see flowers in January!  Thanks Toni!

Posted by Mary Douglas, REALTOR ®, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado (United Country Ponderosa Realty) 4 months ago

My wife calls them Johnny Jump Ups.  They grow well in the winter here so I bet they will love your Florida warmth and sunshine!  Enjoy them and thanks for sharing with us Toni.

Toni~ They absolutely look like butterflies.  I think they would be great in a window box.

Posted by Donna Foerster, Metro Denver Real Estate Agent (Rocky Mountain Real Estate Advisors) 4 months ago

Hi Toni, These are my favorite variety of pansies.  Like John mentioned in #16 I also know them as Johnny Jump Ups.  I wish I could have year round outdoor flowers like you.  And yes they do look like butterflies.

Have fun!

Several of you mentioned Johnny Jump-Ups and I remember hearing that name from years ago.

Yesterday was a busy day so I will catch up with all of you later today. Thank you all for your wonderful and fun comments.

Toni--These pansies are gorgeous.  I envy you being able to plant them now.  Enjoy them for all us who live north of the Mason-Dixon line.  No snow, but it is too cold for flowers just yet.  Not even the snow drops, our first flowers, have popped up.

Posted by Mary Yonkers (Howard Hanna/Alan Kells Schools of Real Estate) 4 months ago

Hi Toni,

You are so right, they do look like butterflies. I think I will go to Lowe's and buy some tomorrow. They are so cute! Good find Toni!

Posted by Kristin Hamilton CDPE, SFR, CHS Realtor Redlands/ Loma Linda Homes for Sale, CA (Keller Williams Realty) 4 months ago

Mary - I would send you some if it would do any good.

Kristin - They are and I still need to go get them.
