They're beautiful!

Thank you

Are the butterflies maturing this late in the season?

Well, um, yes, because here he is...?
He won't be back.  This generation goes south, spends the winter in Mexico, then starts north and breeds somewhere along the way, then dies.  It's their descendants -- 2 or 3 more generations -- that get up here in the summer.
I think numbers were down somewhat this year(?).  How many do you usually see?
At least your milkweed grew.  Takes them some time to get really big.
Turns out butterflygardenlady had a few more.  So now I have 2 more chrysalises.  Yay.

I canNOT beLIEVE I am doing another tail-end-of-the-week after-midnight-Saturday post!!!  WHAT has happened to TIME??  I shot this several days ago and thought "I'll be done early this week" and then somehow still didn't manage to post.  I want to know who's messing up spacetime.  It can NOT be going this fast!!!
ANYway...

Me to me: You are NOT going to celebrate today's successful checkup by buying a doll.  Do not go to the toy section.  You do NOT need ANOTHER doll.  You do not have ROOM for another doll.  Do your errands, leave the store.
Me: Rainbow high made MINIS???!?!1!?
*promptly buys doll AND two plants*
