We’ve got monarch butterflies in our yard every day now. But only one-at-a-time.
I’ve always wanted to have lots of butterflies in the yard. We’ll keep at it 🙂
This monarch is on a leaf of a mulberry tree. There are milkweed plants growing underneath, just out of frame 🙂

Adult sow thistle, growing next to milkweed with seed pods.
The sow thistle is taller than the milkweed. it has a central stalk, with leaves coming off of it. Atop the stalk are one or more flowers, reminiscent of dandelions. And the flowers go to fluff, like dandelions.
