Pretty, plus it's a butterfly magnet! Sadly, I have seen no butterflies on it yet this year, but I have seen...
Ant on orange milkweed
Bee on orange milkweed

Oh...so this is the name of the flower. I think I have it growing in my garden but mine is red in color
Beautiful! I love the colour. I hope you'll get some butterflies too.
I particulary love the first shots and the budsof the Milkweed
It's so vividly coloured!
Quite fascinating I must say. Greetings!

Beautiful colours!
The orange milkweed is very pretty. Lovely images. Have a happy new week ahead!
I never knew about the plant.
It's bursting with color. It's also known as pleurisy root and can be used medicinally .
Such a pretty flower.
On our walk this morning I noticed some of the milkweed was in bloom and the monarch butterflies seemed to be enjoying it. Enjoying your pictures.
These are fabulous photos! I came from Mersad's meme Through my lens to look at the bee. She is so wonderful!
So beautiful, love that first shot with some open and some still to come...
BeaUtiful shots, I didn't know milkweed was ever orange. Like the critters posed on it, but hope you get some butterflies too.
I love this flower but here too no butterflies on it.
Gorgeous macros!
great images. I love the orange color on this flower. :)
I love my butterfly weed garden.. I wish it didn't have the term "weed" attached to it.... Michelle
Wow! Gorgeous macros!
