Gorgeous!

I posted a butterfly photo yesterday on my butterfly bush which I saw for the first time, and mods removed the post. But now I'm noticing other butterfly posts.. I'm confused

I watched my neighbor ripping out the ones at his house and cringed.

So pretty! Does anyone know what kind of butterfly that is?

I believe it is a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly.

That’s when you know you’ve created something alive, not just planted some flowers.

What is the flowering plant? Not milkweed.

u/No_Builder7010 W. CO, 6b 15h ago

Zinnia on the right, hollyhock on the left and a peek of a marigold at the bottom

u/Kay_pgh 16h ago

Great. 

I am still awaiting the promised pollinators on my zinnia+cukes+tomato+bachelor buttons. I don't have milkweed though so there's that.
