I look forward towards the end of summer for the purple blooms of the Tall Ironweed (Vernonia gigantea) to appear in a clearing not far from the garden spot And, what a delight to see this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, South Carolina's official state butterfly, dining on the blooms.
Happy Sunday,
Beautiful! I don’t think we see a lot of swallowtails here as often as monarchs.
