Butterfly Balcony — HSR Layout
Six square metres tuned to host forty butterfly visits a day — nectar layers over larval host plants.
The clients wanted butterflies; their caterpillar-phobic housekeeper did not. Compromise: host plants (curry leaf, lime, ixora) on the outer rail, nectar pots inside.
Palette
- Lantana and pentas for year-round nectar
- Milkweed for striped tigers
- A shallow clay saucer 'puddling' station
