Drama in My Zinnea Garden

My zinnea bed is my favorite garden--beating the ten tall and luscious plants in the basil bed, the prolific cucumber bed, the fat juicy raspberries, even the tomatoes (which aren't doing so well this year).

Giant spider, two inches long
 
More drama. That's a bumblebee on the left,
spider on the right.
 
Moths and butterflies are drawn to the bright
colorful zinneas as to a flame. When the afternoon sun is shining on the bed in late August, the zinneas
are covered with Monarchs.
