I love this one too!
"Where's that nectar down in there? I'll just stay here till I get to it. This flower is too darn frilly!", said the Monarch...
...Looks like an effort for the Monarch but a beautiful picture for us. Beautiful plant too!
...all the time thinking to itself;........."My Probascis is getting all tangled up trying to get down there!"
HaHaHa!

One of my favorite wild flowers, a butterfly magnet they are. They pop out here in October and I can spend a whole day in a field of them watching the butterflies enjoy them.
