Monarchs

It is migration time for Monarchs. And we are clearly on the flight path. Add the ones that are emerging from chrysalises and you've got a yard full of butterflies.

Our yard is a flowery oasis in the middle of the woods.

I wonder how they find it?

This was the view from inside our living room. I count nine Monarchs. And there were others flitting about and alit on flowers just out of view. And more elsewhere in the back and side gardens.

They seem to especially like the Tithonia rotundifolia, commonly known as 'Mexican Sunflower', which Patty grew from seed. She already has planting plans for next year.

Fueling up for the next leg of their journey to Mexico they put on quite a show.

Farewell.
