Then today, I met up with Coleup and we stopped at a place where they had planted tons of Joe Pye Weed as well as other nectar plants. Saw several Tiger Swallowtails, lots of skippers, and tons of bees enjoying the feast. Then we stopped at the Ace, where several of the Coneflower species were crawling with skippers, and then a beautiful (Fritillary?) came investigating as well. He hung around on the Echinacea 'Magnus' and also on some white coneflower, so the Magnus and the White went into my shopping cart. ;-)

In fact, in picture #4 and #5 you can see him on the Magnus in my cart, which I took as a sure sign that a higher power meant me to take that Magnus home. ;-)
