I was cleaning up a bit of my backyard garden when I observed a freshly emerged butterfly resting next to its just-shed chrysalis on a Japanese anemone stem. So exciting! I've seen numerous other butterflies here too, but haven't had the ability to post my observations until now. This year compared with last year, I've seen many more monarch butterflies including at least 10 adults, 3 eggs,and now the first chrysalis/emergence! I grow salvias, goldenrods, beebalm, and milkweeds for them.
