My son was practicing using his new camera today.  Several Monarch butterflies have adopted our garden.  Normally they chase each other off when they see each other but this particular flower is one of their favorite and they declared a very short truce.....

I don't think he needs any practice, that is perfect.  Looks professional.

Very pretty!   O0

My 16 year old loves to take pics of butterflies, too.  We don't get many Monarchs here though, I need to plant some milkweed for them.  I have about 15 butterfly bushes, monarda plants etc., but they just don't attract the monarchs.

The plant in the photo is Eupatorium Conoclinium greggii (Gregg's Mist Flower) and it reportedly grows zones down to 7a.  Butterflies adore this plant.  I of course have lots of milkweed in the garden and that keeps the Monarchs around since their cats feed on it but this Gregg's Mist Flower will feed the Monarchs.
