Beautiful Kerri! You've always post such wonderful photos!
I think I read a little while ago that the monarchs had trouble in their winter hibernation roost in Mexico...bad weather or something. I haven't seen any yet, but I haven't been out near flowers much yet.
I came to Pacific Grove one fall to see the Monarch habitat. There were literally thousands and thousands within about an acre of eucalyptus and cypress trees. You capture their fragile beauty so well.
How beautiful.. I haven't noticed an over abundance of butterflies so far. It may still be a bit early yet. Looking forward to seeing more of your butterflies.
I planted some seed sent to me by Ruthie at Nature Knitter, and hope it will grow to be a magnet for my yard as well. I'd dearly love to see the Monarchs here more.
If your Monarchs winter in central Mexico, you may see fewer this year. We had a cold snap that killed quite a few. But not as bad as several years ago when approx. 10 million were killed by the cold.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!
