Butterfly Magnet

This Asclepias curassavica, with lots of common names involving red, butterflies, milkweed, etc. is growing in a butterfly garden at our granddaughter's school. Her two year old sister goes out of her way to walk through the garden as often as she can --- but it's the crunchy stone pathway rather than the lovely flowers that get her attention.

Very pretty. I've seen these in the courtyard where my mother is and notice the butterflies are really attracted to them but can never get a decent shot.

lovely shot

So nice to see that there is still food out there for the pollinators. They need to prepare for winter soon!
Very pretty tiny flowers. Your iPhone takes awesome shots.

Very interesting plant. My milkweed doesn't look like this. Lucky you.. Nice shot.

What a pretty capture. I like the way the buds look pink, while the opened flowers look orange and yellow.

[Allison Maltese]

Ah yes, I saw these at The Butterfly Zoo. Lovely close up of them-- nice composition and clarity.

Such a lovely capture. I am smiling at your story of the two year old. So cute.

Pretty flowers. Great capture.

What a beautiful flower. Am trying to find the names of things that attract the birds and butterflies for next year!
