Danaus gilippus
A bevy of beautiful butterflies clustered so heavily on some purple garden flowers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center https://www.wildflower.org/ The University of Texas at Austin Texas. Purple flowers were attracting many different butterfly species all throughout the gardens. What an amazing legacy for a generous woman! The purple flowers here are blue mistflowers
Family Nymphalidae, Danainae

You may want to take "monarch" out of your common name, how you have it now is quite confusing as you are calling it two different species of butterfly. What you have here is simply a queen butterfly :)
