Due to the events of the past week, Melanie is declaring butterfly season OFFICIALLY OPEN!

I was cleaning up the plants that got frosted when Mom walked out the front door and said, "Ooh..pretty butterfly." I said, "What butterfly?" She pointed to my hanging basket of petunias (purple with white edging - I couldn't resist!) and sure enough there's an Eastern Black ST in there! I was so surprised and Mom was like, "Didn't you put it there?" I had been putting my Polydamas out there to dry, but I told her no way - I haven't even seen an Eastern Black ST in months!
