In Riverside Park, alongside the budding and bursting cleomes, anemones, and rudbeckias in the Garden People's Community Garden at 91st Street, the butterfly bushes (Buddleia) welcome monarch, yellow swallowtail, and red admiral butterflies for feasting pleasure. The white cabbage butterfly flits about among the group in a frenzied state. For a bonus among the lepidoptera is a dragonfly with its pair of transparent wings.” These celestial beauties draw admirers of all ages. Best to see them in mid morning sunshine.
