The Butterfly Garden (The Collector Book 1)

Product Information

I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans of JoJo Moyes,. Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult and anyone looking for an absolutely stunning getaway The Smithsonian Institution's Butterfly Habitat Garden .... and the Ripley Garden .... are both good places to see milkweed integrated into a garden setting. I loved this book from beginning to end. It’s written with quite short chapters which I like because it’s easy to spare another 5 minutes for just one more chapter. Erin is the main protagonist and there were times when I didn’t like her that much. She sometimes came across as quite self absorbed and perhaps a little judgemental but she’s young as well as an only child. This makes it so reflective of real life because as 25 year olds who haven’t seen that much of the world, we do tend to be quite selfish in our outlook on life.

Erin has returned to her family home in Cornwall after leaving for London to be closer to her artist boyfriend who just happens to also be a married man. Her parents begged her not to go but being a headstrong young woman she thought it was love and that the man of her dreams would eventually leave his wife for Erin. Monarch Watch provides information on rearing monarchs and their host plants. [34] Efforts to restore falling butterfly populations by establishing butterfly gardens and migrating monarch "waystations" require particular attention to the target species' food preferences and population cycles, as well to the conditions needed to propagate and maintain their food plants. [35] From Cornwall to Costa Rica, this book delights over and over. With the added bonus of learning about butterflies on the way.Landis, Thomas D.; Dumroese, R. Kasten (2015).

Many sources of milkweed seeds require stratification (cold, moist treatment) before sowing. In a review of stratification requirements for common milkweed, recommendations varied from as short as 7 days to as long as 11 months at 5°C (41°F) (Luna and Dumroese, 2013). Butterfly milkweed (A. tuberosa) germination increased from 29 to 48 to 62% as stratification duration increased from 0 to 30 to 60 days, respectively (Bir, 1986). Our informal natural stratification trial with showy (milkweed) and narrow leaf milkweed (A. fascicularis) in southern Oregon revealed that seeds began to germinate after 15 weeks in stratification (Fig. 3A).

Maggie is very much a haunted character and to be honest I much preferred her to Erin. She was very well written and having the diary entries gave us glimpses into her past. She may now be a recluse despite having had success with her novels but many years ago an event tore her world apart that led to devastation, separation, hurt, anger and a descent into a mental state very much hard to come out of. The diary entries were fascinating, insightful and at times hard to read but they gave us a window into Maggie’s soul. When the reason for Maggie’s way of being and feeling is revealed all the snippets from the past that I had read made much more sense and I had a much deeper appreciation and understanding of what she had been through. I felt her reasons for feeling this way were justified but how her body and mind reacted afterwards was very hard to read about. She has a life full of regrets and as her illness worsens she wishes Erin to help her make amends. There were slow and tantalising hints dropped as to the root cause of Maggie’s isolation, pain, suffering and the life of regrets she has. When the reveal came after the story dragged in the middle, the exact details of it were surprising to me but it helped me make sense of several other strands of the story. Lucas, himself bears a secret that shatters his life and while Erin cajoles and begs him to come to Cornwall, Lucas is adamantly against it. As Erin scurries home, she wonders will she be in time to bid her friend goodbye before she passes? Will she finally be privy to a secret that her own parents have held from her? Can family ever be forgiven hen the hurt that accompanies the secrets might never fully heal? a b c Hanula, James L.; Ulyshen, Michael D.; Horn, Scott (October 2016).

Calhoun, Research Associate, McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural HistoryA number of Buddleja cultivars have become available that have a variety of sizes and blossom colors. University studies have suggested that nectaring butterflies have greater preferences for some of these than for others, with Lo & Behold 'Blue Chip' and 'Pink Delight' heading a list of eleven. [23]
