I have finally been seing hummers in the flowers. Monarda is really a great magnet for hummingbirds. I like the fact that they are composite and the birds are somewhat still while dipping into each of the many throats on each bloom. A good photo op.
I am puzzled also by the lack of butterflies. Up until this weekend I havew only seen a few cabbage whites or a sulphur here and there. ( spring brought a few swallowtails at the beginning) Where the heck are they?!?

These pics are from previous years.
