A row of ginger plants with showy flowers were specially planted to attract birds as well as butterfly and other insects.
Even though the weather was overcast with dark clouds congregating, there were still quite a few energetic butterflies fluttering around the foliage.
A Peacock Pansy was resting on the bidens pilosa - once the flowers are in full bloom, you will see a magnificent scene.
A Plain Tiger was taking a short break on some creepers. 
Hmmm..... a brown skipper. 
The brown skipper also likes to visit the Plain Tiger's host plant. 
This huge Common Mine caterpillar was proudly exhibiting its vibrant colours to the visitors.
Here's a shy little Common Grass Yellow caterpillar snugly camouflaging itself on the host plant. Can you spot it?

Why did the Palm Bob and the Peacock Pansy look in different directions ? I wonder if they would fight for their territory. 
This is the beginning of the extension to the existing patch of the butterfly garden. Wesley and Li Ping from Nparks were busy supervising the gardeners. 
"Pass me that plant, this is the perfect spot.." 
"Let's split the job, I do this side and you do that...." 
This is the patch of land along Brickland Road where the 2nd phase of the Butterfly Trail Project was constructed. 
It is very encouraging to see that many urban parks in our neighbourhood are beginning to realise that a butterfly garden is one effective way to conserve butterfly species and create vibrancy of the park. Next time, when you take a stroll down the Pang Sua Park Connector, pause for a moment look around and let nature surprises you with its flying jewels !
Butterfly Lodge @ Oh' Farms is honoured to be involved in the project.
