Updated overall garden picture. Our garden is turning from pinks and purples to yellows, golds and oranges in the overall garden scheme. We noticed some aphids on the Rose Milkweed and while spraying some soapy water on them, found this Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar as well as some lady bugs that were feasting on the Aphids.

The Spotted Bee Balm is attracting so many pollinators. We have so many that I'm not sure how to identify them. The one below is a predatory wasp that has a fuzzy white triangle on the back of its thorax.

The mystery plants have blossomed and it appears that they are different flowers

| Brown Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba) |

| Orange Coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida) |
This garden has been an incredible experience. It has brought so much life into our yard. The native plants are making our garden beautiful.
