I know Spanish Needles are a great butterfly plant - I even read that in one species the males need the nutrients contained in them so that they can mature sexually. But they've always been a weed here in FL, and I'm trying hard to change my mind about them. Maybe I can prune them to grow in a prettier manner. They're growing between the glandularia in the above photo and this little duskywing seemed to be enjoying them.
