September was hot and dry; October is cooler and was very dry until it rained on Wednesday.
My Asters ignored the dry conditions and have been (and still are) blooming profusely.
There are still a few blooms on the Turk's Cap that the butterflies are enjoying.

The Gulf Fritillary is our most common butterfly but it is eye catching and beautiful. I keep taking photos of them no matter how many I see! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour Asters are beautiful and I love the butterflies. Happy Bloom Day Lea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterflies, the photos are lovely. I like the asters! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterflies and asters. I forgot to post my asters; mine are darker. So many varieties out there!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those asters! Gulf Fritilaries are everywhere in the garden these days, but, sadly, I'm still not seeing any Monarchs.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty butterflies, I've not seen either of those kind. I love that pale purple aster.
ReplyDeleteHow great to still see butterflies. It has been a bit cool here during the nights for them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful asters, Lea! You're doing a great job pulling in the butterflies too.
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms and butterflies!

ReplyDeleteI love the colour of your garden Asters, and your photos of the Fritillaries on the blooms are lovely.
That Sulphur butterfly looks so good
