7/5/2014 3 What do we
like about it? Relaxed, natural appearance Small size Native plants Butterflies & other pollinators visit Some color – but natural – not like Disneyland Sunny Easy access Could have seating that allowed enjoying it © Project SOUND Clearly someone really likes being in this garden; ‘Life-friendly’ for humans and others How does our Butterfly Garden stack up? © Project SOUND Relaxed, natural appearance Small size Native plants Butterflies & other pollinators visit Some color – but natural – not like Disneyland Sunny Easy access Seating that allows enjoying it Life-friendly We’ll need to carefully choose our plants to maximize Butterfly Garden Soil: clay loam Drainage: good (slight slope; drier on top) Full sun Water Zone: 2 (tentative) Watered with soaker hose Other: Afternoon breeze Nice views behind (to south) 5 ft wood fence behind Visible from house, porch, ‘shady seating area’, ‘lawn’ Near ‘vegetable garden’ Mulched (if appropriate) © Project SOUND UCR Botanic garden – Butterfly Garden © Project SOUND

Botanic garden – Butterfly Garden Attributes of the Butterfly Garden Fits overall theme for garden: ‘food for all’ Plants Provide food for butterfly adults, larva or both Suitable for clay-loam soil Tolerate full sun Tolerate modest slope Water Zone 2 or less Purple/blue and yellow flowers (if possible) Something in bloom early spring through fall Hardscape Soaker hose irrigation Chipped bark mulch (if appropriate for plants) Bird bath; drinking saucers for butterflies © Project SOUND Butterfly habitat garden: dimensions © Project SOUND 46’ 23’ 8’ 6’ Butterfly habitat garden: reality check © Project SOUND 8’ 6’ 4’ 3’ Conclusion: butterfly garden is not wide enough – will look bad
5.
7/5/2014 5 Revised garden plan
increases its size © Project SOUND 8’ 8’ 46’ 23’ Reality check: still not much space © Project SOUND 8’ 6’ 4’2’ Plants will be closely spaced – the Coastal Sage Scrub look Space in the ‘Butterfly Garden’ - limited (1) 8 ft diameter (large shrub) (6) 6 ft diameter (Salvia size) (6-7) 4 ft diameter (Buckwheat size) (5-10+) 3 ft or less (perennial/fill) Annual wildflowers Grass lawn – for skippers We like the formal look of the borders in the UCR Garden; plants soften the edges © Project SOUND Add a border between garden and grass © Project SOUND B 8’ 6’ 2’ 4’ Border material (stone; man-made) will be semi-formal and same warm gray as rest of path materials

what it looks like from the porch © Project SOUND Let’s add the largest plant first Qualities of the small tree/large shrub 8-9 ft wide, maximum Not too tall (8-10 ft) unless narrow Evergreen Somewhat neat appearance Attract the most butterflies (or different from those attracted by smaller plants) Added points for: Attractive flowers Flowering time Fruits Scents © Project SOUND Cercocarpus montanus Best butterfly choices for tree/large shrub Lavatera assurgentiflora Populus spp. Prunus spp. Prunus ilicifolia ssp. ilicifolia Quercus spp. Quercus berberidifolia/dumosa Rhamnus spp. Ribes spp. *Aesculus californica Alnus species *Amorpha californica *Arbutus menziesii Arctostaphylos (large forms) Atriplex lentiformis ssp. breweri Baccharis salicifolia *Ceanothus cuneatus var. cuneatus Cercocarpus spp. *Chilopsis linearis *Frangula californica © Project SOUND

California was the first state to choose a state insect. Its endemic range is limited CA from San Diego County north to Sonoma County. The ‘dogface’ name comes from a wing pattern resembling a dog’s face (some think it looks like a poodle) which is found on the male of the species. Its wings are an iridescent bluish-black, orange and sulfur-yellow in color. The female has a small black dot on each of its yellow forewings. Rare/local – primarily in foothill chaparral, woodlands © Project SOUND http://butterflyfarms.org/california-dogface/ female http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_dogface_butterfly California Dogface - Zerene eurydice Larvae feed on Amorpha californica, CA false indigo. Adults feed on flower nectar – particularly fond of purple flowers. In the California chaparral and woodlands habitats of the Santa Ana Mountains, the adult California Dogface butterflies can be seen nectaring at thistles: natives (Cirsium occidentale) and introduced invasive species. They are hard to get close to and hard to photograph because they fly very fast. © Project SOUND http://socalbutterflies.com/pieridae_html/calif_dog.htm

Almost all are good nectar/pollen sources for pollinators Bloom late when other food sources aren’t available. Eriogonum are used as food plants by larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Some feed only on native buckwheats: Apodemia mormo (Mormon metalmark) - feeds exclusively on Eriogonum Apodemia mormo langei (Lange's metalmark) - only known from Eriogonum nudum ssp. auriculatum Chionodes dammersi (moth) - feeds exclusively on Eriogonum Chionodes luteogeminatus (moth) - only known from Eriogonum niveum Euphilotes enoptes smithi (Smith's blue butterfly) - only known from Eriogonum latifolium and Eriogonum parvifolium © Project SOUND
