Michael Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I was amazed last summer how this plant attracted the butterflies and would like to get some more. Any gardening buffs know the name of it please?[IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z195/Twinkle3000/600PL.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framboise Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes thats a Michaelmas Daisy. I found that they grew in the most bizarre places, popping up between paving stones, in fact anywhere EXCEPT where I planted them. Butterflies absolutely love these though.
