These extraordinary orange wild flowers have been popping up all over. I don't remember seeing them before, but I love them. The color is vibrant and so mesmerizing, especially in large quantities in fields of tall green grass. And I was lucky enough to find one with a bumble bee going about its work.Jun 22, 2007

These are called Butterfly Weed. You are very fortunate to have them growing wild in such abundance. Not only will they attract bees, but as the name suggests, they will also attract multiple varieties of butterflies. Enjoy!
