Monarch on Milkweed!
...
Although we've had some fly-overs, this is the first time in the two years that we've been here that a monarch butterfly actually noticed the milkweed that I planted. Much of our garden plants were selected to feed someone, either me and Robb, or the native wildlife. The milkweeds have gone largely un-noticed by anyone except aphids until this past weekend.
I never noticed that monarch butterflies have polka-dotted bodies, until now. How wonderfully odd!

Leave it to me to look right past the butterfly to the plant.
