The last few days I have been watering newly planted milkweed, as the heat is extreme, and the rain has not been falling as often. The best time to do this is about an hour before the sun goes down.
It appears this is the best time to stroll through the garden, as the last few days there have been monarchs feasting on nectar. Tonight’s dinner, the nectar of a Mexican sunflower.
I loved watching this monarch’s determination of extending its proboscis, finding the opening of the flower, and sipping the nectar.
The best things happen when you slow down enough to witness nature at its finest.
