This wonderful "weed" has so many common names it's ridiculous.
I've heard Creeping Charlie, and a few others. Whatever you call it,
Phyla nodiflora is a fabulous plant for your butterfly garden!
This
Cassius Blue Butterfly
(left) and this
Firey Skipper
Butterfly (right) regularly visit my Phyla nodiflora to sip nectar.
White Peacock Butterflies enjoy it too. I've heard that they'll
also lay eggs on it, but so far I've only found their eggs and
caterpillars on
bacopa.
I finally found out what this tiny cute moth is. I emailed Alan to ask,
and he let me know it's a
Syngamia florella Moth
(see it's page for much better photos of it.)
As more
butterflies and
critters pose for me, I'll add additional
photos. Phyla nodiflora grows so close to the ground that sometimes it's
hard to get the shot without scaring the bug away.
