Nature welcomes any small patch of greenery across the otherwise barren rooftops of the urban core. Early yesterday I was working on the Breaking Ground Contracting site - we are installing a clumping bamboo hedge between the site and I-10 and walked up to the rooftop garden area. Two Gulf Fritillary butterflies were mating.

We've all been amazed at how quickly the green roof was colonized by wildlife. Every day brings a new species or chance to see what normally we miss. Interestingly, the pair chose a quieter spot, back toward the original rescued ground level site plants, away from all the native wildflowers and zinnia's to share.
Green roofs are so very special to the urban core.
