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.
