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?

@cacay1 that's fine. Butterflies are beautiful. We used to catch them in childhood and while catching them through hand used to destroy their wings. How bad we were.

@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.
