#Butterfly #Fall #Iowa #flower

Exciting day today! The lone Mexican Sunflower plant (a volunteer that started very late) had 2 Monarch Butterfly visitors today. The plant flowered too late for the hummingbirds and probably too late (so I thought) for the Monarchs.

I think both of these photos are of the same individual. (More about the flower in a comment.)

Side view of an orange and black butterfly with its wings closed. The butterfly is perched on an upward facing flower with orange-red petals and a yellow-orange center.
A monarch butterfly with its wings spread wide open in the late afternoon sunshine. Only a tiny part of the flower is visible below the butterfly.
