I am fascinated by the Butterfly Weed.
The blooms make me think of tiny ballerinas twirling around with their arms up over their heads.

Someone gave my Mother-in-law this 'Easter Lily' several years ago.
It is probably a Lillium longiflorum that was forced to bloom in the Spring.
Outside in the flower bed now, it blooms at the beginning of Summer.
Happy Monday!

I like the bright colors of the Butterfly Weed, and I'm sure the butterflies will love it too. I love lilies but the Easter lily has never survived for me, and now I'm trying my luck with the Regal Lilies and the Casa Blanca and have a few blooms this year. Happy gardening!
