Butterfly Weed...a favorite of the bees as well as the butterfly. The Butterfly Weed is a member of the Milk Weed family and therefore, supplies an ample supply of nectar for our flying insect buddies...grows prolifically along roadsides in the gravel and poor soil. Must get entire root to successfully transplant.
Ironweed and a UFO!!!...
hovering above one of the most beautiful roadside wildflowers. Named for the strong stem required to hold the large clusters of gorgeous purple flowers. Used by Native Americans for stomach aches.
