I grow a lot of plants for butterflies and hummingbirds so I never use poisons and insecticides. Butterfly weed is to butterflies what catnip is to cats. They can't get enough of it.

What a pretty weed; not something I recognise at all.
Oh, your blog is so pretty and full of information about garden's. I love gardens! I will be back to visit times. Thank you for visiting and leaving such a kind comment on my blog...:)
What lovely pictures, and that's the prettiest weed I've ever seen.
Thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. :)
I so appreciated your visit and lovely, kind words. Your garden is a big of paradise. I'm in the same temperate zone, 8, but our humidity level is on the opposite end of the spectrum! But I still try to grow tropicals...I grew up on the coast and they're my first love among plants.
Is the Butterfly Weed the same thing as Lantana?
I also have purple oxyllis. I planted it in a pot with Maiden Hair fern. They're so pretty together!
I love your blog and will certainly return for a breath of fresh air.
~~~Blessings~~~
What a gardener and with my son's first name spelled the same way...great name of course!! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! You have great flowers. I have had the toughest time growing flowers here in Savannah since we moved 6 years ago but I continue to try anyway...Sandy
We have a butterfly bush in our side yard. It has beautiful purple flowers and the butterflies LOVE it.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. It's nice to meet a fellow Methodist!
Have a great day.
simply stunning!
Y'all's kind words are much appreciated. Thanks for dropping by for a ramble in my garden, and, as we say down here, y'all come back soon, you hear?

What wonderful photos you take!
These are such bright and beautiful photographs, only enhanced by their subject matter. A stunning blog, black background was the right coice!
Thank you so much, Jon for stopping in for a visit and for your kind words.
Your garden is beautiful and I wish I could meander through it at my leisure. As long as you keep posting pictures of it, I will be content to visit.
Jon,
What a beautiful site and thank you for sharing your gift of photography, what a blessing.
Thank you for blogging by Hill Country Thoughts also.
Have a super week!
Paul
Is there really such a thing on God's green earth as a weed, ha! Even brambles in bloom are beautiful in their own way, aren't they? I just love your photos, Jon, and thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm an avid gardener too but don't have much time or a good enough camera to photograph my "beauties" much. But it certainly doesn't stop me from enjoying someone else's talent!
You picked an absolutely wonderful song to complement your garden and your blog.
Thanks for dropping by my blog...now I best get out there and spruce up my flower beds a bit. You really put us all to shame.
Thanks Jon!

Your garden is something for the rest of us to aim for.

I am afraid I do not have a green thumb!! You sure do!!
