Fiesta Friday #393

If you plant it, they will come …

Monarch Butterfly on Echinacea | FiestaFriday.net

The echinacea was barely in the ground for more than a day, and already it attracted this Monarch.


It’s Sunseeker Echinacea bought from Lowe’s. I was pleasantly surprised that it’s fragrant. I didn’t think echinacea had any fragrance. None of the ones I planted previously had any.

What else are they going to breed next? A fragrant cabbage? Now that’s a thought ?

I hope that butterfly will stick around. I did see another one this morning hovering in the pawpaw patch. It could be the same one, hard to tell. I don’t know if there are ways to distinguish one butterfly from another of the same sex and species. I do know this one up there is male from the two spots on the lower part of the wings. Pretty, pretty boy butterfly …

    What a wonderful photo Angie. I’m afraid I’ve not had such luck with these stunning flowers! x

      Thanks. Echinacea has been bred into many varieties and colors, some with fragrance some without. The fragrant ones seem to attract butterflies more, though I’ve also seen the old common variety Echinacea Purpurea covered with all kinds of insects in my garden, especially in autumn.

    What a beautiful shot. This is the first year I’ve had flowers back in the garden after having dogs – we’ve given up on flower beds and gone for pots and planter! It’s so lovely too see the bees and butterflies back.

      Thanks. I had to stay still for 10 minutes to get that shot, all the while ravaged by mosquitoes! It’s amazing, isn’t it, how just a few flowering plants here and there can attract so much wildlife.
