I was seeing this a female Queen for about a week, then a male showed up. Voila, some eggs showed up. Am now raising 5 caterpillars for these lovely creatures. Here's the mother! Isn't she lovely?
Milkweed is a must-have...see what mine brought!
just beautiful. Great shot
Beautiful!!!
er, the Butterfly and the plant. LOL :-))
I just got the same colored Milkweed last week ("Deep Red" is what the variety was called, but it looks like yours). Got the tall pink "Soulmate" Milkweed, an orange "Gay Butterflies" Butterfly Weed, and 3 other 'regular' orange Butterfly Weed. :-))
No butterflies yet on them, though.
