Crystalline White Garden Phlox.
Sweet Autumn Clematis is also a big favorite.
I thought that you might like to see some of my better photo journalling of this year's migration. Enjoy!
The monarchs are always so very trusting and very intent on their eating. Perhaps they know that theya re safe from predators because of the poison that they carry in their bodies. They know, developmentally, that birds will not bother them anyway!

This little jewel of a hummingbird happened along when I was out with my camera!! i was so excited to be in exactly the right place at the right time!! If you right click on the photo you can get an amazing close up of this hungry guy!! What a treat!!! The birds are all over my garden daily but I have never been this fortunate with my camera!!!!

Gorgeous photos, E. Isn't it amazing that the hummingbird can have its wings moving so fast that they blur in the photo, but its head is still enough to drink nectar from the flower? Miraculous!
Elizabeth, beautiful pictures! I saw a monarch yesterday too......I was so thrilled, I will post later! :0)
Happy weekend doll!
Hugs,Patti
Great post Elizabeth! You are such an inspiration! I plant most of what you describe, but need to add cosmos next Spring. Great picture of the Ruby Throat....I have a gazillion of them too (well, perhaps only a dozen residents but they are busy protecting 'their' three feeders right now) but rarely get a shot of even one!
Happy Weekend...hope your rain was gentle and is gone now.
