Ray's Thought for the Day

Frostweed (Verbesina virginica)is the host plant to Monarch Butterflies on their journey south through these parts in the fall. (Can you spot the redundancy in the preceeding sentence?)

Yesterday, we took pictures of some of the ones here at the Cow Barn that are fixing to bloom for an upcoming people friendly Crumby Ovate related publication. Maybe we'll have a monarch or two this year, although they are of very rare occurrence in the vicinity of the Cow Barn these days.

Also the Eupatorium greggii aint bloomed yet, so we aint seen a queen this summer, yet. Normally we have lots of queens.
