A couple DB seedlings and I threw in an unidentified butterfly (or moth?)

Looks like some good future breeding stock with the DB's!

More beauties!

Looks like great substance, too. Will be really nice to work with when they bloom.

It's a good site, I use it a lot for ID and finding new plants to add to my butterfly garden. Has a lot of info on hostplants which is nice. I haven't seen a lot of American Ladies in a given year, only 1 or 2, this year I've seen hundreds. Red Admirals and Painted Ladies too. Not so many Monarchs or Swallowtails though. Sad My milkweeds and fennel are standing tall and undamaged.
