Agastache 'Blue Fortune'

There were so many butterflies attracted to this that I thought it worthwhile to photograph it.  More butterflies here than in all of the other flowers in this garden together.  This is Agastache 'Blue Fortune', also labeled here as Hyssop.

Monarch Butterfly on Tithonia rotundifolia

Here is a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia var.
