Finally A Butterfly Appears: A Gulf Fritillary

September 5, 2011


Finally a Butterfly appeared in the garden!  We’ve seen next to nothing this entire summer.  Everyone in this area just wants the Summer to be over, and to get a little rain.

The Butterfly that appeared was a Gulf Fritillary and it showed up right after I was done watering the Zinnia garden.

Don & Kate - Beautiful pictures! Good work. We wish that we could send you all some of this rain that’s flooding us out in Maryland so you can get more butterflies, flowers and birds.September 8, 2011 – 6:01 am

texdr - We’d gladly take any rain we could get right now. It’s getting pretty dangerous now that things are so dry. It doesn’t take much and things just ignite, as I’m sure you’ve seen on the news.September 8, 2011 – 6:41 am
