Hello Everyone and pleased to meet you. I have a butterfly garden in southwestern Mexico which has really turned into a nectar lovers garden hosting butterflies, bees, hummingbirds. I am from the Pacific Northwest USA and am here enjoying my new climate. One of the best things about gardening in the Tropics is that you can garden year around.

Hi Beverly and a hearty welcome to GardenStew The thing about all-year-round gardening members here is that they are invaluable to those members here with more seasonal climates. This is because when it's gray and drab during our winters you all can still show us colour! Looking forward to getting to know you
Thank you for the welcome Frank. I'll do my best to add some color...we do have a rainy season though, and tropical rains can come down in torrents wrecking all kinds of havoc...the good news is that it is always warm rain. This doesn't happen in the traditional "winter" months but rather about July to mid-October.
Hi Beverly, welcome to Gardenstew from Chelmsford, MA. You will find we love pictures. Soon you will see lots of our plants from gardens that have been resting during the long cold winter. A warm welcome to our garden community. Jerry
Hi Beverly, welcome from a distant hot and humid land. I am enjoying the lovely spring right now in England.
Hi Beverly, welcome to GardenStew from north central Texas where our gardening weather has been something like zone 11 the last few years. The weeds love it even if the perennials know when to sleep for a few months. Pacific Northwest to Mexico....that's quite a climate change.
Hi and welcome from SE Texas. Can't wait to see all the things in your butterfly garden. Sounds heavenly!
Hello and welcome from Idaho! I had to look up Colima to see where it is. It is located in a beautiful area! I'm looking forward to pictures also.
Beverly it's great to have you as part of our worldwide GardenStew family. I hope you'll stay around and have fun with us all. A warm welcome from Scotland.
Thank you mskitty, wannabe, Donna S, and Eileen for your warm greetings. I feel right at home and i do believe i'll stay around. I've been here for 5 days and each day i learn new things about this site and the more i learn, the more i like. I'd love to chat more but right now i am wanting to spend each day i can in the garden. Then, when the sun goes down, i do all the things that i neglected while i was in the garden. Still i manage to spend a little time each evening at GardenStew. When the rainy season starts in July, i'll have more time for chatting and sharing experiences and ideas and getting to know more members
