I’m jealous you have butterflies in your yard! I love how the flower center matches the browns you used. I also like that dark border.

@umyesh Thank you. I've lived in this house for a bit over 32 years now and all of my gardening has been centered on feeding the bees, the butterflies, etc. I'm growing lots and lots of milkweed too, which isn't a weed at all and the monarchs seek it out to lay their eggs on. I haven't found any yet but I have hopes. I'll keep planting more, I save the seeds and plant them.

@trekmom my mom just gave me milkweed to plant! I’m waiting for it to dry out so I can plant the seeds.

@umyesh plant that right away. The seeds are in pods, save the pods.

@trekmom ok thanks!

wow that is a stunning butterfly! love the painty feel to your page!
