We made it to another Friday! We hope everyone is having a beautiful week. 💗🦋
Featured is an American lotus flower Damien photographed at work. American lotus has a lovely scent and is the larval host for the American lotus borer moth!

Plant of the week is here! This is one of my most favorite plants. When I first discovered the basal rosettes of this carphephorus species on a nature trail, I could tell it was going to grow into something amazing. I continued returning just to witness the blooms, and it did not disappoint! Florida paintbrush is a butterfly magnet and a perfect addition to a sandy meadow garden.

Happy Friday from Asclepias Acres! Featured is an Eastern black swallowtail caterpillar feasting on wild cowbane, one of its native host plants from the wild. You may notice these caterpillars nibbling on your parsley, fennel, dill and carrots in your garden, though.

*Update: this pitcher plant is actually a hybrid of both yellow & white!*

Happy Friday! I could not resist using Damien's image of this yellow pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava) from his trip to the Panhandle last weekend. Pitcher plants are carnivorous and thrive in poor soil. They make up for lacking nutrients by trapping and consuming insects!

Presenting plant of the week: Black-eyed Susan. Good ol Rudbeckia is a staple in many native plant gardens and meadows and is widely available in the nursery trade. This flower is a prolific self-seeder and feeds the birds & pollinators in the process.
