I've noticed the latest 'garden rage' is to insert empty wine bottles that have the thumb hole indention around the perimeter of your flower garden. Many, I've seen have this going ALL the way around the perimeter....even for a small garden, that's ALOT of wine! The idea is that they hold enough water for the butterflies to rest and drink. Good idea, just hadn't consumed the inventory to do the perimeter, instead I created little clusters of bottles in a couple places around my pond garden, which also hosts many of the hummingbird feeders. To my delight, the little Hummingbirds use these makeshift watering holes for themselves!!! How wonderful! I've only seen them sipping at the water in the afternoon....for all I know, they may bathe in it in the morning....it would be just right for them!
