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).

Good for the Monarchs. They need all the help they can get with their shrinking winter environment.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics, Jack!
