Sunny and 100 degrees! Because of lack of rain and high temperature we didn’t have high expectations. But we were pleasantly surprised by the decent numbers and diversity of butterflies. (One reason is that the butterfly garden gets watered.) 32 species. Highlights were Texan Crescent and species shown in photos.
