Monarch Visiting
7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago
A female monarch has been nectaring on my Zowie Yellow Flame zinnias. Somehow, I got a picture of her floating towards the flower -
I hope she goes in the back yard and finds the milkweed! It's got fresh new leaves since I cut it back about a month ago.
