Hi :)

Here's a little writeup I did on requested by Mr Ng (the farmer who tends to the garden at NTU):

He wants more butterfly loving enthusiasts to visit with ideas on how to make the garden even more butterfly friendly.

Here are the photos (the nicer ones are Nelson's... the more realistic, Un-PSed shots are mine. :D)

From what Uncle Sunny said today, Mr Ng plans to build a butterfly enclosure. Frankly speaking, if he doesn't have the manpower or resources to maintain an enclosure, it would be best to just populate the garden with butterfly-attracting plants and host plants instead of 'imprisoning' the butts. Let the butterflies be free-ranging! :)
