Have you been to DeKorte's newest butterfly garden yet?

We're the first to say that it is brand-new and a work in progress, and it can be a tad muddy with all the recent rain, but the potential is huge — especially in the afternoon, when the Sun shines on the Butterfly Bushes.

The plants were a donation of the Bergen County Audubon Society, and they are already "bearing fruit."

We had five species of butterflies there the other afternoon, including an American Snout — plus a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. (Thanks, BCAS!)
