Wait. Melanie and Cat. Mississippi is not that far north. We have had an extraordinarily cool fall. I'm not seeing butterflies now.

The Julias are indeed beautiful. I've never seen one before. Cat, please photograph what you find. SE Texas and South Fla. are the only habitats for Julias in the entire US. Indeed, you are lucky ones!

Here is my monarch as she first stretched her wings in very early fall.

There are two plants missing in my garden -- Mistflowers and Porterweed. I've never seen either here, but I'm going to check around to add them to my butterfly plant collection.
