Submitted by: SDozzler
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The 7’ to 10’ frostweed on “Wildflower Hill” finally started blooming and I saw the first Monarch! It was when the sun hit the plant tops, on its way down for the day. This beautiful butterfly was happily going from flower to flower without regard for me.
