| Carrie, you've inspired me to plant some coneflowers out where I can see them from the kitchen window! Loved the article and the delicate Painted Lady photos. |

| Thanks, gardener. I took none of the pictures myself, you understand - they were all my daughter's doing. Can I bring some extra coneflowers for you to the Round Up in June?

| Thank you, Seandor, you are actually NOT the first person to suggest that. Coming from you, though, I give it a little more weight!!!! xx, Carrie |

| I loved your story, and congratulations to your daughter on the butterfly photos.
My small Miami garden attracts many "mariposas" since I planted blue porterweed, golden dewdrop, jatropha, firebush and milkweed. And I never never pull out spanish needles (bidens alba, a weed).

| Hmm, never noticed any butterflies on the dandelions, definitely a weed! But in almost every other case, one person's weed is another's pretty flower. And the butterflies don't seem to care whether there are color echoes, either. I will pass your greetings on to my daughter! xx, Carrie |

Carrie, that is a lovely offer--I hope you haven't dug up ALL the coneflower/butterfly-landing-spots!! LOL
I've got some jugs of WS coneflower seeds set out. . . if they don't sprout, I will take you up on this kind offer!
