Autumn In The Air NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS This is Poppy, a Monarch butterfly that wasn't able to pump up his wings after he came out of his chrysalis. I found him in my butterfly garden, trying to fly. When I offered my fingertip, he climbed aboard, and I spent the next couple of hours taking him from flower to flower so that he could eat. He has definite preferences when it comes to flowers — he likes milkweed and zinnias, but not lantana. Submit a picture. Copyright © 2004 Consolidated Publishing Co.
