The Plant My Group Chose

Me and Rebecca have chose to grow a Butterfly Bush for our APES native plant growing project. The most obvious reason for this is because that the flowers are pretty, and the butterflies it attracts should be just as beautiful, but there is a more deep ecological reason behind this choice: Growing a butterfly bush would allow us to better comprehend the important relationships between producers (the bush) and consumers(the butterflies) within an ecosystem, and how if the bush were to disappear the butterflies might vanish as well.
