This one is supposed to be a host for Skipper and Dogface butterflies, although I didn't observe any activity on the day these photos were taken. It grows wild along our creek, and shows no sign of being invasive here, even walking a mile or so each direction the creek runs, I haven't seen more than a handful of these plants growing. I think they are attractive when blooming. Definitely more interesting than some of the other wild plants I've observed here.
