3. Plants are responsive to sound
There are old stories that talking to plants can help them grow. Studies have shown that vibrations (such as music, or even your voice) can affect the growth of plants.

4. Grass attracts more butterflies than flowers
Colorful flowers are not the main attraction for insects to visit your garden constantly; it's more because of the scent and nectar.

So the yard weeds, such as dandelions and clover, may actually be the most attractive thing in your yard to butterflies.
