Asclepias Tuberosa




This is one of my favorite wildflowers in this part of the country.   




The bees and butterflies love it.      In fact, its common name is Butterfly Weed.





I love that you can see buds and blooms at several stages on a plant at the same time. 



It comes in all shades of orange:   from orange juice...






... to dark tangerine.  




Some are striped, some aren't. 


All photos K1.   She's a marvel with the camera.



What's your favorite July wildflower?
