Autumn brings with it a riot of colors to gardens.
Perennials know it's time to rest for the winter. Butterflies have either migrated to warmer climes or taken shelter elsewhere until spring. The mystical migration behavior of monarch butterflies has been the subject of research by entomolgists, biologists, and scientists for many years. The return of butterflies in the summer is an enchanting sight, and truly gives butterfly gardeners a warm, fuzzy feeling. It's also time for the gardener to take a small respite from gardening tasks.
