I hope you can see the Hundreds of butterflies fluttering about! Beautiful!
The photos and the video show both Monarchs and Painted Ladies! I would say 30% or more are Monarchs. About 100-200 monarchs total.
That was on one side of the path. Directly opposite, about the same. As we walked the property, there were large areas of wild flowers, specifically goldenrod and asters, where there were a couple of hundred more Monarchs. Definitely more Painted Ladies though. Absolutely in awe of what we saw! We have had this property for four years and have always had a wonderful amount of Monarchs and Painted Ladies...but never anything like this!
