Mid September
It's feeling and looking a lot like early autumn now. A few butterflies are still searching for nectar but many wildflowers have withered and dried up. Many late-summer bloomers such as Queen Anne's lace, goldenrod and asters are all hanging in there.
Largest square: Viceroy and I'm not sure what the other butterfly is. Do you know? (A friend tells me the butterfly is a red-spotted purple.)
Moving clockwise: adult trumpeter swan with two juveniles; Jerusalem artichoke blossom; clouded supphur (I think) on wild aster; dried seed heads of bull thistle (seeds have nearly totally blown away), and blossoms of wild aster.

Can't help you with that one. I thought I could, but I was wrong.
love those purple asters! ours are white here.
Those purple asters are lovely!
I can't help you out with the identification either. I do like the photos, though!
I wish I knew, but it is beautiful whatever it's called. Those wild asters are glorious in their sweet violet shade! How quickly this summer passed.
This is a great early autumn collage. I really like the colors of the blossoms.
Wonderful collage.
Very pretty photos. My fall aster is in full bloom and I must get a photo before the frost hits it. Enjoy the week!
I don’t know the butterflies’ names but they are lovely.
Beautiful collage!
