Eliza Waters 
That’s amazing Eliza. It looks like Miss Monarch is watering a circle of yellow flowers in her own garden on Miss Zinnia Elegans. Love it 🤣❤️🙏
Thank you, Mark.
And just like that, monarchs are appearing in droves!
I’ve seen a few, but really glad you are seeing more!
You must have seen Judy’s zinnia and butterfly combo. Apparently these flowers are quite appealing to large butterflies; maybe it’s that big landing pad!
Yes, zinnias are a great flower for adults. Milkweeds may be host plants for the larva, but the adults have many favorites across the garden.
I love this time of year.
Gorgeous capture!
Thank you, Debra!
You made my day Eliza.
Aw, glad to know that. Enjoy!
Awww……..😊
🙂
I enjoy the robust cheerfulness of zinnias and love the butterfly!
Thank you, Anne. They form a lovely match!
love this- i was hoping to see an insect and what a beauty. thanks for making the day start off shining!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wings of hope
Yes! 👍🏼
Zinnias certainly attract butterflies. Yours is color-coordinated.
Thank you, I aim to please! 😉
Nice pic of the butterfly…they aren’t easy to capture as they move too fast…(Suzanne)
Thanks, Suzanne. I was lucky she was hungry!
What a perfect pair!
I must agree. 🙂 Makes me happy I planted the zinnias!

🙂 Thanks, Catherine!
How nice is that? The orange and the orange-n-black! Great shot shot, Eliza!
