There are 3 phases of Tiger Swallowtail - the regular yellow phase has both male and female, and then there's the black phase that are only female and there's an Intermediate phase that are only female and look inbetween yellow and and black - almost a chocolate color.

Thanks ! I think that a lot of us are on the right track Buzzbee. Years ago I used to use pesticides. Not any longer and my garden is so much more full of life !
It shouldn't take too long for your Echinacea to spread. You're gonna love it ! I could sit for hours and just watch the butters fly in. All kinds !

We grew Echinacea purpurea for the first time this year - can't wait till they bulk up and look as good as yours - and to have a garden that is as friendly as yours to butterflies would be a good indication that we must be doing something right. Great pictures.
