I may have spotted a painted lady, but then it was gone and I didn't see it again. I still have the red admirals, though. You just never know what's going to grow or visit from year to year. I guess that's most of the fun, no?Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-67747043689088792412010-05-28T16:59:09.651-04:002010-05-28T16:59:09.651-04:00I saw one monarch fly through yesterday but they a...I saw one monarch fly through yesterday but they are slow coming.

Or was it the deep persistent snow we had tis winter? Anyway, I'm just glad they are here.<br /><br />Also glad to learn your Tenn's came back. I'm looking forward to seeing mine bloom this year.<br /><br />Good luck with the magenta b'fly cuttings! :-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-79734309193768611762010-05-18T15:12:20.994-04:002010-05-18T15:12:20.994-04:00Nice shot.

Still no hummingbirds though. Maybe they've been avoiding our area due to lack of rain. <br /><br />I wanted to mention, my own Tennessee coneflowers are returning this year. I had to go check. I wintersowed some last winter and was happy to find Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.com
