Monarch shot

And here is the rest of the story.....

Thanks gardenpom for telling me what that shrub is known as. I never knew.

Snuzer29 - I really like the look of the trimmed up duranta. It may just work where I have mine if I can keep them cut back. Thanks for sharing that photo so that I could see how well behaved they can look. :-)

Great photos! That's really neat that you got all those photos in a collage to show us! Love those Monarch Butterflies!

Thanks Becky! That was the first time I made a collage. I used a microsoft Picture It program that came on the computer, but which I had never used. I'm also glad you likes the trim job-- I just guess when I try to figure out how to cut things back!

A shot of a Queen Monarch.

I hope someone can tell me the name of this butterfly.

That is a Gulf Fritillary! They use the Passionvine as a host plant and get nectar from many flowering plants. Beautiful butterflies!

Gardenpom - Great photos! Thanks for sharing them here! :-)
