Multiple Queen Butterflies In Flight

August 18, 2010

Once again there were lots and lots of Queen Butterflies. Today they were not congregated around the “Bubba” Desert Willow, this time there were all around this plant called “Blue Mist” (I think that was the name). I’m going back tomorrow on my way out of town to get whatever plant this was.

Update. This blue plant is called “Blue Mistflower” (Conoclinium Coelestinum) and although it is a Butterfly and Bee magnet, it can grow quickly and become a pest (according to Wildflower.org)
