They have a lovely garden walk through a meadow, down into the woods, and around to a pond. In the meadow, I found this milkweed plant with a nice cluster of pods.
Where there's Milkweed, there will be Monarch Butterflies, just like this one.
Although Monarch's lay their eggs on the milkweed plant for their hatchling caterpillers to eat the leaves, I photographed this butterfly on a Cone Flower or Echinacea. Extracts from this plant are believed to stimulate the immune system and are commonly used as a natural cold preventative.
