Eastern Tailed Blue on Butterfly Weed

            This cute Eastern Tailed Blue is just one of many butterflies that love milkweed.  The orange variety goes by many names (see tags) but is commonly called butterfly weed.  I have posted some other shots of butterflies that visit my milkweed and some of the plants I have been able to purchase from the NC Botanical Garden in Raleigh.  As a friend once told me, "If you plant what they like, the butterflies will show up."
