We have butterfly puppies! This one was emerging this morning. Lots more to come out of their cocoons, and we counted 18 of them hanging and in various stages of metamorphosis.
The real Monarch invasion will start very soon. We have one bush-tree called a "Seven Son Temple of Bloom." I did not name it! It is about to pop out with a zillion flowers that the adult monarchs love. The bees like it as well.
And yea, I had to ask my master gardener wife what it was called.
