Great Spangled Fritillary

I have not spotted a Monarch yet but, several Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) on the now blooming common milkweed. (pictured below).


Common yarrow,  Achillea millefolium, is blooming now with white patches taking the place of field daisies which are in decline.  I am going to try and move some yarrow to our garden.  It is suppose to be a good companion plant in gardens.  Picture below is with a 4X magnification attachment lens.


Finally, our gardens are doing well.  I think we can dig a few potatoes this week.  I am hoping for corn by July 4th.
