Butterlfies appear . . .
Butterflies appear when angels are near.
It never fails there is always a butterfly that emerges on a big day for my daughter. Today we had two.
Nature at its finest.
We had two butterflies emerge today, an orange barred sulphur (81) and a monarch butterfly (639).
Fly free . . .
We have had a great amount of rain yesterday and today and my garden is looking beautiful!
I had four butterflies emerge this morning in iur butterfly house, 3 monarch butterflies (now totaling 637 released) and one orange barred sulphur butterfly (now totaling 80 released).
The clouds finally parted, the rain stopped, and three of the four have been released.
A stroll
The yellow beauty
This morning I spent quite a few hours in the garden with the company of the orange barred sulphur butterfly.
I have made it to the far section of the garden where my candlestick cassia plant is located, a favorite of the sulphur, with my stone pathway.
She kept fluttering in, flying high and low, close and far away from me. I lost count of how many eggs this sulphur left behind on its host plant.
The plant is already loaded with caterpillars of every instar.
