About the Art. The photo I used to create this mandala, titled Monarch Dreams, was of a butterfly with its wings closed. In the mandala you see the underside of the wing, which is more subdued in coloration than the wing's topside. The touch of lavender and green in the middle is a bit of the butterfly bush the monarch was perched upon. That butterfly bush grew in the front corner of my yard and although I knew butterfly bushes could be invasive, I thought there was no problem with this particular bush because I didn't have new butterfly bushes coming up in the yard. Everything changed, however, when I turned over soil to put a garden in the backyard a few years ago. Butterfly bushes, white mulberries, and petunias popped up everywhere! Butterfly bushes persisted in popping up for years, even after I'd dug up the original bush and planted a native chokeberry in its place. Just a lesson learned that the seeds of invasive plants can persist in the environment. They patiently wait for an opportunity to explode on your own property, your neighbor's, or on a disturbed patch miles away. This is one of the reasons native plants are preferred in a butterfly garden. I am not, however, a purist when it comes to natives and include plenty of zinnias and other nectar-rich flowers in my gardens.
