I hadn't heard of a Queen butterfly, but based on the photos I found of its caterpillar, I think you're right CatMint! Queen and Monarch butterflies do look similar. I haven't seen either one this summer : - (

Bees have finally discovered my Cephalanthus occidentalis (Button Bush) and seem to like it. It's supposed to be a great shrub for pollinators, so I was surprised not to see any on its flowers when they first opened. I guess the white "buttons" aren't open enough or don't have the best nectar.
