Although Verbena bonariensis is becoming an invasive alien here in South Africa, I still like it because of its attractiveness to butterflies. V. rigida - not invasive here, would be a good substitute.

ReplyDeleteflwrjane is right...

Monarch on his/her way to Mexico? Amazing how critters find out where the food/nectar is, even in a city.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Jane, I know. Today it is aflutter with four kinds of schmetterlings.
ReplyDeleteAnyes, could the season be over already, since you are cooler?
QC - not a Monarch, this time (that would be nice!). Looking for ID - took more pics today.
