After the hike - and lunch at Applebee's - I went to Worm's Way and Lowe's to pick up some orchid and regular gardening supplies. I ended up buying a new kind of coreopsis (it's called Route 66 coreopsis) and some of the yellow-flowered milkweed. I have a couple of the yellow flowered variety but wanted a few more. The more milkweed the merrier! I came home and this Gulf Frit was on the verbena and then checked out the new milkweed. It's not just a host for Monarchs; it's a great nectar plant, too! Also, here's a pic of the new kind of coreopsis I bought. I thought it was cool. Plus, coreopsis is the official Florida state wildflower - I have the wildflower license plate and it's got a big picture of a coreopsis on it. I like people to know I support native wildflowers!
