The Queen is a close relative of the Monarch. This one is feeding on nectar from a Mistflower at Estero Llano Grande. #queen #danausgilippus #mistflower #conoclinium #esterollanograndestatepark #weslaco #hidalgocounty #riograndevalley #texas

Conoclinium coelestinum (Blue #Mistflower) is in the #Asteraceae family. Its blue/lavender flowers are attractive to #bees and #butterflies in late summer/early fall. Prefers moist soils. Common along stream banks and wet meadows in eastern NA. Good for borders but can spread quickly. #nativeplants
