My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is it a monarch?

15 years ago

I wish I could have gotten a closer shot, but it was very quick, and didn't like me to get too near! From the digging I did online, it looks to me to be a monarch, but I vaguely recall that there are others that look similar to monarchs.

And for what its worth, next year I'm going to save myself a lot of money and just plant a yard full of zinnia seeds...because those are the only things that are getting any action this year!

Thanks for any insight! -Sandy.

Here is a link that might be useful: possibly a monarch?
