Butterflies are plentiful right now. Here are some I spotted in gardens and fields around town.<\/p>\n

Gulf fritillary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The gulf fritillary supposedly is found mainly in Texas, Florida and the other southeastern states, and it’s usually not included in lists of Kansas butterflies. However, it’s common here, too.<\/p>\n

Ceratotheca triloba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A friend gave me seeds of the African foxglove, Ceratotheca triloba<\/em>. They were slow to germinate, but once up the plants grew rapidly. Mine are about four feet tall, and I expect they’ll eventually reach six.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The plants tolerate hot and dry weather well, though they do appreciate an occasional sprinkle.<\/p>\n

Lilium speciosum rubrum “Uchida”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first lily opened at the end of May. The last one is still blooming, over two and a half months later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Thymophylla tenuiloba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dahlberg daisy deserves to be much more popular. A native of Texas and Mexico, it doesn’t mind hot weather in the least and blooms prolifically when most plants have faded out.<\/p>\n
