Hi everyone ! I'm glad to share my pictures with you again !
Thank you for all the thumbs up and accorns given to me !
Josephine, I don't know why it is called "perezosa" ( lazy in English). Sometimes they have some strange names.

Pretty Perezosa!

Thank you Ceci, it did seem like a strange name, I thought it might be because it moves slowly?

Well, if any of you have ever seen a Zebra Longwing fly, I could see why you might call some butterflies lazy.

I saw one Zebra Longwing a couple of days ago. And last month weeks ago for a few days one was around. But I thought November was getting a bit late to see one! Lazy? Maybe. The Common Mestras have a funny way of flying also, I think!

Few Skippers, a Sulphur, and a moth -

I was so excited to see a Tailed Orange Sulphur the other day - a first for me. Then a couple more came to enjoy the flowers.

Lovely butterflies Char, the sulphurs are so elusive, but so pretty.

Go figure, there's some butterfly eggs on my milkweed outside! Hmm...which species? Hoping the mama doesn't come back...I'd be doing good to raise these with what very limited milkweed foliage I have here!

@GrammaChar Your picture of the Queen and Sulphur is on the NGA Facebook page today!

It's this one:

Well, that's exciting! Thanks for letting me know, Melanie. I don't know how to go to that site. But it is an honor....

I logged out of Facebook to see if you can still see it and you can. You might have to close the box asking you to join, but you can still see your post there. Dave (I think Dave writes them) used your picture with a message about how gardening unifies us. It's really nice.

Thanks for that link, Melanie. I was impressed with Dave's message because it's so true. Today I will go to lunch with a group of ladies that we call the Garden Group. We have been meeting monthly for almost 17 years. While some of them are no longer able to garden like they did in their younger days, their love of nature remains strong. As does our enduring friendships, which I treasure.

Monarch on Gregg's Bluemist, we still have some around and they are beautiful.
