Anyone have a planned butterfly garden or wild area?

LadyCleo just wonderful. Do you recall which cultivar the blue grass is? Is that fennel or dill weed in back there? I think it is just terrific and the butterflies obviously do too.

ngam,
The grass is Elijah Blue Fescue. It is really showing off this year! It has produced some babies too that my co-workers are begging for.
You've got a good eye! It's Sweet Fennel you see in the background.
I'm glad you like it. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. I'm looking to retire in a few years and am pleased to leave this garden (and others) behind as a legacy of my soon to be 30 years there.

It certainly is a great gift to leave.

Very nice, Ladycleo, thanks for sharing. You gave me a wonderful idea for a garden plan. I'm going to do the color scheme in roy g biv order for a garden, that will be next spring or fall project since I have this fall project lined up already.

Anybody have a clue as to what this wildflower is? Narrow stem, smooth, opposite, lance shaped leaves, flowers in bunch at the top, pink, 5 petals and looks like it has always been growing there. This is just a snip I picked off of it today to identify. It looks pink-like to me or possibly some sort of wild phlox, but I think the calyxes are more pink-like. Can't find anything exactly like it in my guidebooks. It is naturally occuring in my butterfly garden at the reservation.
Appreciate any thoughts on the ID or a source by color that might help identify.
Thanks,
Martha
