Yesterday, this monarch stayed in my backyard all afternoon. I wish I could have caught her on video, but I was lucky to catch this still shot. My nectar plants are in bloom now so the butterflies have lots of options- buddeleia, penta, milkweed,a variety of salvias, and more. I’m including another pic of her on milkweed. So far, no eggs… maybe tomorrow.
