I haven't seen many Monarchs either. Maybe that is caused by that TV series, "Under the Dome". (grin) I have seen a lot of other butterflies, of various sizes and descriptions. And lots of Skippers, too. My zinnias attract a lot of bees, butterflies, skippers, and hummingbirds. Oddly, even though I have seen bees of many sizes and descriptions, I haven't seen a lot of honeybees. No one around here has their own beehives, but I assume there could be "wild bees" in hollow trees.
