Butterfly weed


It seems cruel to call this a weed when I've tried so hard to grow it.  It's a form of milkweed and supposed to be an important plant for monarch butterflies.  They lay their eggs only on milkweed and the caterpillars only eat milkweed.  Now I only have to wait for a monarch to find my little colony.
