Thanks everyone and especially Mel. I didn't know what kind of butterfly she was, just that she sure was pretty. wink

As bad as I hate to think about the cold during winter and being shut up in the house so much, I could sure use a break in this heat. There were storms nearby in all directions yesterday evening and we hardly had an increase in wind and very little drop in the temperature. eek This has been an awful summer!!!

Everything is burning up...only bloomers producing right now are Lantana (poorly) the great Mexican Petunias (profusely) and old, hardy stand-bys, Rose of Sharon. The weather forecasters keep promising rain and we haven't had a drop in over a month. Waaahhhhh!!! As for cool nights, I think 80 has been our low. lol!

Butterflies love Coneflowers. They have been very active this year and the Monarchs are finally starting to show up. They are just so flightly right now, I can't snag any pictures. Here's one from earlier this summer of a lovely Tiger Swallowtail, a first timer for me. wink
