Butterflies abound in early fall. Many people notice the
large, boldy patterned monarchs and swallowtails but the gardeners
love the colorful, small sulfurs and skippers, too. We also know
they love and plant for them the flowers that make good landing
platforms - they aren't hover-ers like hummingbirds! -- and have
many flowers in a cluster, as in the center of each
Aster.
