That is a bunch of BF's vitrsna !!! . I am not seeing the above average amounts of any BF's ,
I can remember when a Giant Swallowtail really was a Giant , Extinct now but there was a Swallowtail that looked similar to the giant Swallowtail except it had white like a wide stripe on it , It was Big !!!
A larger than the largest Yellow Swallowtail , it was ,
I have a Baptisa I am planning on planting , hoping to bring more silver spotted skippers , A few others use the plant also ,
Still trying more Rue , and I have several citrus I am trying , two of them grow wild here ..
Those zinnia and milkweed up above are surrounded by Marigolds that are not blooming and the Cosmos in there aren't either as it has been cloudy and rainy here most of the time ,,
Thank you about the flowers , when I feel well , an easy to do it is , it could look a lot better , but I don't know if the look would change the results I am after ,,probably not ,,lol
The few plants I have trouble with getting them to stay are mostly Snapdragons ,,
seeing lots of Pearl Crescent the BES are in bloom ,, always causes that ,
Trying to establish a clump of alfalfa for Orange Sulpher also , I lost the first attempt sooo, another potful shortly ..
There are a few bean plants in there with the zinnia also ,, not much attention to those so far though .
Well keep at it and lets not let them go extinct with no word given about it .. I will say something to the migrators , but it's up to them whether they listen or not lol .. much easier with plants than critters that fly ,,pic .. pic , pic , lol
False nettle I think another month in a pot before I try planting them in the ground
