I hope the phlox spreads! There's a guy down the street that lives next to the interstate. He threw out a bunch of phloz and blanket flower seeds years ago and now they cover his front lawn and are making their way down the embankment toward the interstate. I think it's beautiful!

I anticipate the Swallowtails will visit more once the plumbagos start blooming. They love those things but they froze down to the ground this year. They're coming back but I think I might have to give them a good heap of compost to speed things along.

I also saw some butterflies in the parking lot of the plant sale. I thought this was a Dainty Sulphur but once I got the pic up on the computer I can see the black that makes me think it's actually a Barred Sulphur.
