No monarchs sighted. Checked in morning, midday, and late afternoon. :( Temps in low/mid 60's, sunny, quite breezy.
Hopefully the warmer days ahead will bring out the late bloomers and any traveling from Canada as I haven't noticed any faded/tattered monarchs.
Liatris is now about 60-65% spent -- a few smaller stalks are just blooming so would have nectar for late arrivals.
Signing off from the 'monarch diner' open 24/7 on a busy urban boulevard garden in sunny southwest minneapolis. pm
