Hi everyone! It’s Cindy here again. Last week I showed you some of the smaller creatures that enjoy our sedum. Today I’ll show you some butterflies that also enjoy the nectar from the sedum.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
This eastern tiger swallowtail is looking quite beat up at this point in the summer.

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly
It’s difficult to photograph the giant swallowtail as they are in constant motion. You will see what I mean in the video below.

Monarch Butterfly
This monarch butterfly had to share this sedum with some other insects.
If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.
The butterflies have also been enjoying the Joe Pye weed, which isn’t a weed in our garden but a perennial that we planted (there is a native variety that does grow as a weed in our area too).
