Hey, I called Dibs on this Coneflower.
We have had many Painted Lady butterflies visiting the area this summer and with nectar at a premium competition did seem to heat up for the best coneflowers in the field.

Hi Camie, it was nice to have so many of these butterflies hanging around our area this summer and taking the time to observe their behavior. It was neat to watch them jostle around for flowers. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks, Mike – our weekend wasn’t too bad, but like many places out west, getting lots of smoke from the wildfires. Need some heavy, heavy rain…
Hope your week is off to a good start.

HI, yes it seems that winter, rain or snow can come none to soon to the west this year. Although we have not had many fires in Colorado last week Denver was filled with smoke from the fires in Montana and the rest of the west.

Hi, they are handsome butterflies to say the least and it was nice to see them in numbers this summer. They have all moved on now that fall is marching on and the coneflowers have run out out of nectar. Hope we get them next summer. Have a fine weekend.
