Butterfly Weed

... is starting to bloom. It's wee and kinda subtle, but I like it. That's a sweet shade of orange and it's supposed to be a butterfly magnet. This is its first year, so I assume it'll be bigger and showier next year. I started it from seed back in March. Patience. Always the patience. Now I will be waiting for the Monarchs to show up.

PS: It should have a nicer name than butterfly weed. Did they run out of ideas that day? Maybe I'll come up with my own fancy nickname for it.
