A beautiful Butterfly that is often mistaken for the Black Swallowtail, yet it is poisonous to their preditors, unlike the Black Swallowtail. I have seeds and will plant this in my host garden in 2007, then I will have my own photos of this plant, however until then here is what I can post now with permission. Photo courtesy of Steven J.
