A little watercolour Iโve been working on, which all got a bit hypnotic for some reason.

DYK - Most butterfly & moth species feed on only 1 or a few different types of plants as they grow and develop. Keep these welcome visitors coming back each year by planting some of these delicious host plants!

As long as the world keeps spinning, I'll keep collecting worms. About 21? This here is the 4th (I think) monarch to hatch. Fresh outta the chrysalis. Still soggy.

A purple Echinacea (purple coneflower) from Ms. Erin Ireland's garden. A yellow lanced Coreopsis is in the background.
I finally got my first purple Echinacea! The rain and sun beat her up (and a couple leaf eating insects), but there are two other blooms developing on the same plant!

STOP ๐ starving #Butterflies and other pollinators ๐ with your expansive poisonous #lawns! #Rewild and plant #Wildflowers #Milkweed and let the #Dandelions grow! #SaveTheButterflies
Hope this is rolled out in every council, I'd love to plant wildflowers and let them run riot in my huge lawn areas but my council would be at my door insisting it be kept neat, I have to plant wildflowers in pots.
