Asclepias Tuberosa

     Asclepias Tuberosa (butterfly weed), in my opinion, presents its best self just before the blossoms fully open.  Today it is perfect.  Once open, the flower is nice for an eye-popping accent, but it teeters precipitously on being too brilliant an orange. In this location it has made friends with a yarrow, which is either "Anthea" or "Sunny Seduction."   I don't suppose my mapping glitch really matters, since they both look exactly the same - a nice, soft yellow.
