This is my Butterfly Weed's 2nd year to bloom, it has already bloomed once and I kept looking at it to check for seed pods and it is blooming again.
I took several pictures of this butterfly feeding and it didn't seem to be shy at all.

That's a nice-looking Tiger Swallowtail there! They're usually pretty good about letting you take their picture.

Nice! Unfortunately mine are bloomed out. I saw a tiny hint of orange on one plant today while I was collecting seed pods. These are my plants' 3rd season.
Swamp milkweed showing signs of heat stress (it is NOT planted in a swap!) and I hope it holds till my Monarchs get here!
