Backstory

I’ve said before that the gardens at Live Oak are one of my favorite places. Master gardener Hella does a wonderful job providing beauty and habitat for humans and butterflies to enjoy. I snapped the monarch enjoying the gardens when I stepped out for a breath of fresh air between rehearsal and performance.

Various types of butterflies, bees, and other pollinators visit Live Oak throughout the year.

Backstory

For some reason, none of the photo information is saved with this file. The picture is in the middle of a group of flower garden pictures I took at Live Oak, so I’m making some assumptions here, but…


The landscaping is one of my favorite things about Live Oak. Hella and her volunteers do such wonderful things with native plants. And we all know native plants are important for attracting butterflies. This one looks like a mourning cloak, but I’ll defer to any real lepidopterist who wants to leave a correcting comment.
