Cloudy and very rainy this AM, once clouds cleared just before Noon the butterflies especially Monarch’s came out. I’d estimate over 200 Monarch’s in the yard feeding on Tropical Milkweed, Mexican Sage, Lantana and Blue Rhea Salvia. Again, in the afternoon many locals stopped by to see the Monarch’s and teaching done.
