“ My name is Vickie Sowers , and I exist in Oshkosh , Wisconsin . Since April I have transform our formally shady front yard into a butterfly garden . We have had many butterfly visitors , that we enjoy very much . Next twelvemonth I have a many more ideas . I am so glad that I incorporated our leftover rotting Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree stump into the aim . It add up a luck of stake . Among the flower I planted , Zinnias seem to be the butterflies most favorite . ”
