We only see a few bumblebees now. They are more common in the spring around here. right now the most common butterfly is the swallowtail. They are such majestic examples. - Margy

Tom, It is a butterfly weed. When I was young my mom had one but she dug up hers from the side of the road.

Wow, wow, wow, absolutely gorgeous. Our butterfly weed is just about to bloom. I don't expect quite so many butterflies, but you never know!
