    Fantastic shots Sherry. You must be very patient! I haven't seen any Monarch's around...I wonder why?

    So did I, eileen. You have a good eye, Sherry, and some lovely colour to set off your insect visitors. One should think they chose the bloom colours from what they know they look good on. :D

    It is so nice to see the lovely colour of the butterflies and plants.
    The bees and butterflies really love your garden--if these experts give your garden their seal of approval that means that you have had success. What better judge could you have, eh?
