Missing Butterflies



















Is anyone else missing the butterflies in their yard this year?

It's been pretty slim pickings in our yard for butterfly sightings so far this year, despite our abundantly blooming butterfly garden.  My tall butterfly bush hasn't started blooming just yet, but everything else is in full swing and the winged beauties just aren't visiting like they have in the past.

I'm wondering if this is widespread or just a localized issue for us this year?  How are the butterflies in your yard doing?

Strange. Now that you mention it, have not seen a single one.
