A paradise for butterflies and a guarantee of more next year. Wonderful.
I spotted a Monarch today and was thinking it is kinda late in the season to see one. I have lots of Gulf fritillary cats as well. What I don't have is any Black Swallowtail. There is parsley and dill in the garden for them to munch on. Maybe I need to plant some Rue.
PS I still can't get over how many Queen butterflies you have in your garden. Amazing!
