7-12 Indian Tobacco, Common Evening Primrose, Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillars, Monarch butterfly

 7-12

Indian Tobacco, one of seven Lobelias listed in my field guide - favors open woods and fields.


Common Evening Primrose - so called because its flowers only fully open at twilight - likes dry open places.


Milkweed Tussock Moth caterpillars feed communally for a time.


And a Monarch butterfly visited our milkweed today. Last year our first sighting was on the 11th.
