the orangest #nativeplant

My best butterfly milkweed photo from the Archetype House demonstration rain garden at Kortright Conservation Area in Vaughan. This is what monarch caterpillars eat. Don't let anyone tell you that milkweeds are bad garden plants. Butterfly milkweed is the best. It's small and compact, can handle the drought, fills the space at a reasonable rate, and has this insanely gorgeous bloom.
