Dear Friends,
We released our painted lady butterflies today. They are probably looking for their favorite purple, red, and yellow flowers to drink nectar. Painted lady butterflies prefer thistles, asters, cosmos, joe-pye weed, ironweed, and blazing stars, but they will visit clovers, milkweeds, and other flowers, too. Perhaps you will encounter one of our painted lady butterflies near your home. Bon voyage, painted ladies!
Love,
Ms. Kaim
