mellielong said:Lin, we don't actually get Atalas or Julias here in Tampa either. My boss trades with some other butterfly gardens to get them. In fact, this is the first year we ever had Atalas. But all of our butterflies are Florida natives and it's kind of cool telling people how the Atala was at one time considered extinct in Florida. It presents a nice opportunity to teach people about the importance of host plants in their gardens.
