And here is my Monarch -- unless it's my Viceroy. LOL! I can't tell them apart unless I have a full open shot of their wings, but there were two of them doing the hoochie koochi dance, so I'm watchin' my milkweed!

Oh, he's on a Single Dahlia -- from 'Bishop's Children' seed. These dahlias are the most popular item on the butterfly buffet in my garden including Lantana, Echinacea, Milkweed and Butterfly bush! I can only think it might be because of the height -- about 42" when the other stuff is a lot shorter. The tall Zinnias are just getting started, so maybe there will be some action there.

Rod, I hope Cat is feeling better and am thankful it was a negative assessment. If I could grow but one flower you peeps south of me all seem to have, it would be that Duranta! What a gorgeous, gorgeous flower!
