And I thought milkweed was only used by monarchs

I have planted lots of milkweed around my yard and am continually surprised to find different butterflies frequenting it...as well as the hummingbirds.

Great photos; thanks for sharing. The flowers on the milk weeed look a lot like Lantana, maybe that's what attracted the hummers.

great pics, texas,

I didn't know milkweed had such appeal either! The hummer pic was especially pretty. t.
