Farewell to June

With this male sachem I have seen 24 species of butterfly for the month of June here at Foulkeways. Last June I saw 8 species - remember how much rain we had?
Corn cockle. Blooming in our new meadow, and Mother must have planted that seed.

The purple conflower is just stating to bloom, and for me this signals the start of the meadow season.


Tiger swallowtail. With this magnificent butterfly, I will say farewell to June. I hope we get some rain soon. I will be back in about 10 days.
