Plant milkweed for the monarchs. Be sure to plant those compatible with your environment. In Ky we plant the Butterfly Weed. Photo from Burpee Seed

Micro 4/3's aren't known for their bockeh, you just have to get real close and open up the lens. The lens used was the Laowa 17mm 1.7. It's a manual lens.
