YES that was the page! Thanks so much for finding it! I did use some beads and wire and then I forgot to add this part above. I then used the remaining wire and spun it around a fat marker and then stationed it on an old garden stake that used to have a plastic pinwheel on it. The little wooden peg at the top was a perfect spot to fasten the other end of the wire. So I just popped it in a large bed of geraniums and the butterfly jiggles with the wind. Exactly what I wanted to acheive. My prototype I did in haste my following ones I will take more time on. However, I am very impressed with the prototype. Will try to get a photo. Oh good idea on those other sources of plastic..THANKS!

Butterflutter, no, I'm talking about actual wild blueberries/vaccinum elliotii. Huckleberries/v. arboreum also grow on my property, but they never bloom this early - v. elliotii frequently does, always when we have cold weather early, followed by a long warm spell, like we've been having lately. Last year the weather pattern was different, the wild blueberries didn't bloom until February, and there were plenty of ripe blueberries in May for the birds and people, if you have the patience to pick the little things! Different people have different common names for the same plant, but I think we're both talking about v. arborea when we talk about huckleberries. I don't see swallowtails in January naturally - the only ones I see are the few that emerge out of season each year in my unheated bedroom, usually a black swallowtail. I don't think we're having global warming, this is just a typical warm spell in January - the temps were way below normal only a few weeks ago. Sherry

Mora, We must be on the same wave length because yesterday I bought 2 huge black and blue salvias, in full bloom, because I want to be sure to have additional nectar sources in time for their arrival. :-) Edna, You always have the welcome mat out for the butterflies! Seen any Monarchs today? Steven, I bet that was a beautiful sight. I've witnessed migratory flocks like that too. They are such delicate, beautiful creatures on such a long perilous journey. Hmmm...maybe I should run by that nursery again today to see if they still have b/b salvias on sale! lol Marilyn
