Yellow Old Maids July 29, 2012

Zinnias are called Old Maids.  It's a cute common name, but not very flattering!  Especially for flowers that are absolute work horses in the garden in the dead of summer.  Butterflies are extremely attracted to them.  All day long the Giant Swallowtails, Gulf Fritillaries, Tiger Swallowtails, Pipe Vine Swallowtails, Black Swallowtails, and Sulphurs flitted all over them.



 See the beautiful butterfly on the flower in the picture above?  Gorgeous.  The gardens are alove
