A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Pom pom Butterfly today

The pom pom marigold was sporting a lovely Hair piece today.. And it matched too.
Did you folks know that butterflys fly onto like colored flowers to hid?
I learnt that this year.

Pom pom marigold (never ehard or seen the likes of it, i havent been in the garden centers or by the seed stands in a month or so =() but wow isn't that just a stunning picture!

and thanks for the information bout the butterflys! I never knew that. Around my new house we have some really stunning butterflys... ive tried sneaking up on some of them but they to fast for me... they see me and they run! lol

Toposh............get on the stick.
You just sit an watch the butterflys and see where they go.. Then notice what the colors are......Keep sneak not running..........

Thanks for the comps..............I needed that .

Lol i don't have the patience.. lol its to hot to be sitting outside... 97 degress it got yesterday! foggy out today... but the butterflys ive mostly seen have been blue with the black and then the deep orange with the black... do you know the names? their beautiful and they are so big!

Deep orange with black might be Monarch???/

Yellow with black is Swallowtail..........Lots of both here......

yea thats the name good thanks! lol and yea we have the swallowtail here as well but i had to do a image search for it on google to be sure lol! thank you barb!

Dodge - I watched a monarch butterfly enjoying my orange dwarf zinnias yesterday - it was very hard to tell the butterfly from the flowers because they were the same color orange!!!
