Fluidr / butterfly weed profusion by mimbrava

This is what yesterday's leaf-cutter bee was among on June 15. This shot was taken late afternoon on a cloudy May 22. Some of my butterfly weed, including some yellow, has self-seeded in the side garden area, which is delightful. Most of it is done blooming now, but it was a beautiful show this year. Sadly, they attracted few butterflies. This season so far I have had only one Spring azure, several Summer azures, one Eastern tiger swallowtail, one ragged Horace's duskywing, a few Fiery skippers, a few Silver-spotted skippers, and one Cabbage white.
