Fritillaries

Welcome to Miss Gerry's Garden Center.  These are two flats of marigolds that I grew from last year's seeds, ready to be planted in the garden.  Each flat holds 6 6-packs.  That's 36 plants per flat!!  That's a lot of marigolds to plant.  But you can see that they are ready.
 
When I was out watering the other day I saw this Fritillary sipping nectar from each little flower.  She doesn't use marigolds for her host plant, but it is a great source for nectar.  
 
Later the same day, we saw two of them feeding.  So pretty!!!  I love having butterflies in the garden.  Well, most of them.
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
