I cannot stop my sister planting and planting different varieties of plants. I do not know their names. I cannot stop her for in this pandemic, we need to do something to convert our loneliness and worries that may lead to mental distress.
I told her to sell them but she just laughed. She almost covers our frontal view with flowers like this. Yesterday, there were two cute, yellow butterflies flying over the flowers planted on the ground. I was so stunned for I had not seen butterflies for many years now.My last seeing of them was in 2016 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Photo is mine, the plants planted by sister. What are the plants you planted this pandemic?

@Butterfingers, I hope to see butterflies again and shot them. I am always watching the plants on the ground if butterflies are coming.

@allknowing, there are many things we create and discover in this trying time. We have to force ourselves to divert our attention to some other things to forget tomorrow.

@sjvg1976, 
actually, I am always looking outside the window facing some flowers on the ground hoping to see butterflies, but none. It might have been a coincidence seeing them face to face. The cute,yellow butterflies flew over the plant that I watered using a host. They stayed for some minutes. My cellphone that time was in my computer room.

Yes, planting flowering plants invites pollinators like butterflies...

Yes, we need to be positive and do things that keep us active.
Your sister has taken the pains to make your lives lively and interesting.
I live in an apartment and we have indoor and outdoor plants.
My wife is the one who does all the gardening!

@asianlady , yes true, this is one way to forget the recent issues we are facing this time. I am so worried about the infected Pinoys this day almost 18,000 .The previous months, the least 4,000 now almost 18,000. I am afraid it will surge more, I hope and pray it won't surge high. Pray for our country.

during this pandemic situation, the best thing I did is planting trees and I preferred to plant trees that are useful for my daily needs like tomatoes, spinach, curry leaves and brinjal

@ygoegeit326 , it seems impossible my friend. The cost of a land property this time is in millions. Our property was sod only at 1 million and that was in 1997.

@cacay1 it's really heartbreaking to hear but I hope someday you will definitely gain a beautiful land property and you will be back by planting in hectares and you will share that picture with me.
