Good thing I've got those rain barrels!<br /><br />Glad I could help Kelly. Hope you're enjoying learning about butterflies--isn't learning new things fun?<br /><br />Thanks Gaelyn. Yes, 4 new monarchs in the last week: 2 males & 2 females.<br /><br />Thanks Jayne. I know you can appreciate this more because of your own recent adventures in landscaping!<br /><br />Thanks Mary.

A woman's work is never done, don't you agree?<br /><br />Thanks Heidi.<br />You're right, those differences on the monarchs are pretty subtle and most evident when they're seen from the "right side" plus much harder to see when they're out in the wild.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-186004821027880452009-08-29T15:35:24.576-05:002009-08-29T15:35:24.576-05:00Good makeover... it helps the window planters on t...Good makeover... it helps the window planters on the upper windows stand out. I hadn't noticed them in the before picture.<br /><br />It sure isn't easy to tell those butterflies apart even next to each other. You have to look, not just glance.

Good job indeed. <br /><br />And now I think even I could tell the male from the female monarch butterfly . . . due to your fine tutorial skills.
