I've got black swallowtails all over the Joe Pye weed and painted ladies on the cosmos.

So far it’s just one Monarch and one Yellow Swallowtail.

Last year I had only a couple of Monarchs but 8 Yellow Swallowtails. I have an area that’s about 10x12 of Korean Hyssop with a sprinkling of Ox Eye and Catnip. The butterflies and the bees seemed to adore it last year so now I’ve let it get thicker than ever. I hope they come; the bees have already been busy all over it. The lone Monarch seems to go for the Verbena bonariensis.

 

Any butterflies in your area?
