CATNIP - IT'S NOT JUST FOR CATS

in #nature5 years ago

Of course I like it too, but so do butterflies!


Catnip is an ingredient in one of my favorite tea mixes. Moreover, many cats enjoy it too. We've grown and harvested it for years now, and have even been selling some on the side from our Homesteader's Co-op store, but this year we are also letting it go to seed. Part of that process includes pollination, and we recently caught some friendly local pollinators enjoying it. Here are the photos. Enjoy!

Hello my friend! :D

Very nice, are there two or three butterflies in the third and fourth pictures? :D It looks like three to me, so that means there's probably only two, LOL. :D

God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
