Hundreds and Hundreds of Monarchs

Natalia, TX(Zone 8b)

Last spring I planted a few of their favorites, scarlet milkweed, butterfly bush and zinnias. I've seen a definate increase in the number of butterflies all summer. Yesterday was the day, hundreds maybe thousands of monarchs swormed the backyard, they were sitting on the leaves in the trees, there was one on just about every flower I have. I got a few pictures and made a slide show through Photobucket..click this link to see them, they are beautiful! http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/dosmiller/monarchs/?action=view¤t=1161131917.pbw

It was truly a blessing to have them honor my backyard outside of Natalia TX.

Hey....I recognize those -flies... They were at my house Saturday! Great photos. I tried to get pics, but they were so high in our trees that they didn't show up. Will definitely be planting food sources for them for return trip in spring! Sandi
