Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: In the northern sector of the botanic garden, Rubber Rabbitbrush is beginning to bloom. This was my first of two Queen sightings during the morning walk. Several monarchs were sighted in the southern sector of the garden. The weather was sunny with a few scattered clouds at high altitude. Temperature was in the low 70s Fahrenheit. Breezes, 0 to 5 MPH, intermittent. The specimen alighted on the bush for about 45 seconds, then fluttered away into distant trees.
