The Monarchs are migrating through Texas. Our Gregg’s mist flower in the front flower bed usually just has Queen butterflies, which look similar to Monarch butterflies. I’ve been spotting more actual Monarchs landing on the purple flower puffs in recent days.

A Texas native, Gregg’s mist flower is a butterfly magnet. When the weather is warm in spring and fall, we have had over a dozen butterflies rise up off the flowers as we walk past. Better than a butterfly pavilion!
