The monarch butterflies are here on their annual migration to their winter home. We usually see far more than we've seen this year, but millions of them were killed in a freeze in Mexico last January.

There aren't too many flowers blooming now, but a lot of foliage plants are still growing and still lovely. Below are pictured coleus and two kinds of ornamental sweet potatoes.
