My husband and I have enjoyed watching Monarchs, Zebra Heliconians, Black Swallowtails and Eastern TIger Swallowtails enjoying the nectar from our flowering Ligustrum trees. The bees love them too and the fragrance is delightful! We moved to our new home near Tampa last July, so this is our first spring and what a nice surprise! We’d planted milkweed, which the Monarchs love, along with Sweet Almond Bush (yummy fragrance) and other pollinator enticing flowers and shrubs, but the mature Ligustrum trees were already here. Little did we know that they would be such a butterfly and bee magnet!
