Image: Attracting Hummingbirds and Butterflies to Your Backyard: Watch Your Garden Come Alive With Beauty on the Wing, by Sally Roth (Author). Publisher: Rodale Books; First Edition edition (May 4, 2001)Butterfly and Hummingbird Day
- Today is for honoring and celebrating the beautiful and unique bird called the hummingbird and admiring the beautiful and colorful butterflies fluttering around. Who hasn't seen the majestic beauty of a butterfly bouncing through the air or hummingbirds hovering near a feeder? Did you know there are about 24,000 species of butterflies, and representations of butterflies have been found in Egyptian frescoes at Thebes, which are 3,500 years old?

Read: Attracting Hummingbirds and Butterflies to Your Backyard
-- In her newest book for Rodale, the irrepressible Sally Roth zeroes in on one of North America's best-loved backyard birds-the hummingbird - and on the beautiful, delicate insects all the rage among nature enthusiasts-butterflies. Becoming a dual hummingbird/butterfly watcher couldn't be more natural for backyard gardeners and nature lovers, because both types of winged creatures are attracted to beautiful nectar flowers. Sally Roth is a passionate gardener, and she shares all her best recommendations on the perfect flowers to plant to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

About Catherine: I have been writing frugal tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three sons, who are all grown up - and re-married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and Bella, the cat.
