They came for the orange milkweed/Asclepias tuberosa in my former IL garden, and also went crazy for Eupatorium coelestinium/Mist flower.... but watch out Mr Brown Thumb.. that plant is a bit of a thug! <BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting my blog for Garden Muse Day and complimenting 'Thalia'- another plant I've loved in both Illinois and Austin gardens. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-88892176413999623252007-07-01T23:35:00.000-05:002007-07-01T23:35:00.000-05:00Monarchs are the most prevalent in my garden, foll...Monarchs are the most prevalent in my garden, followed by the little Commas.
