No large flowers, no large butterflies. Large patches of white clover and Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) attracted all species. Some Delaware and the Broad-winged Skippers were on the few remaining Nuttal Thistle flowers. Not having been mowed this past week, there was an abundance of small flowers and bees.
