Yes, I am repeating myself. But, I am so happy that butterflies -- especially monarchs -- are so plentiful this year. Many different places, many different flowers. These were in Elizabeth Park.
I have seen monarchs enjoying sedum, verbena, coneflower, phlox and many others. Even dahlias.
A butterfly similar to the monarch is flitting around in the same places. Thanks to Google,
I have learned that this is a painted lady (Vanessa cardui).

You got some wonderful pics, Jack! There have been a lot of them fluttering about here too!
Butterflies really are very pretty.

Good for the Monarchs. They need all the help they can get with their shrinking winter environment.
Gorgeous photos. I never get tired of seeing the butterflies. The fall butterfly show should be starting here at the Desert Botanical Garden in the next few weeks.
Wonderful pics, Jack!
