Butterfly Memorial Garden

Butterfly Memorial Garden A public flower garden designed to attract local butterflies at Port Orange Christian Church

Enjoy the ever changing viewpoint of my lunch-time visits with my butterfly friends in our church memorial garden.This page celebrates the challenges and rewards of God's blessings on the smallest of creatures as they transition from one life to the next...and again to the next? Wait, how come butterflies/caterpillars get 2 different options for appearance and we don't?

Astonishing! God created a prickly unattractive cactus we ignor, avoid & turn our backs to. Then one dark night when the world is asleep, this gift produces a stunning BLOOM to be appreciated for just a few hours before withering by daylight. Blossoms unseen, unnoticed, and unappreciated from DARKNESS unless we open our eyes to Gods Prizes!

Focusing on the ‘cat’ into Chrysalis Stage- once the egg is laid- it hatches a week later as The now Caterpillar has one week to shed its outer layer 4x to grow up. The 5th shed/instar ‘takes it all off’, haha, and does what I refer to as ‘The J Accordian Dance’ into a green BLOB! Then a week later emerges as an amazing Monarch. Look for my time- lapse and normal videos of these stages.

I’ll start here- I spend hours daily harvesting eggs to win my fight against Wasps that eat the caterpillars. We now have a chart - shows number of eggs/butterflies I harvest & also number of Wasps I ‘electrocute’ with a wand (yes, I smile).

Over 40 Monarch Chrysalis emerged or ready this week. All saved from the cold weather.
