| Butterflies and Angels Minnie Evans frequently painted images of butterflies and angels in her garden scenes. Minnie's work is currently on view in Minnie, Clyde, Annie, Vollis. Last week, the Museum Shop Manager and CAM's Property Manager planted 50 milkweed plants near Minnie Evans' re-created gatehouse on CAM's campus. Since Monarchs have been in decline, it is our hope to bring back the butterfly population. The milkweed is a main source of food for the Monarch butterfly and the only plant where Monarchs lay their eggs. Thank you to everyone who purchased seeds in the shop this spring and a very special thank you to the anonymous "Milkweed Angel" who paid for the milkweed plants. Butterfly kisses to you! |
