Such a lovely butterfly in shades of brown and bits of orange! Rambling milkweed? I've never heard of that type. The blossoms are very pretty close up.

The butterfly is of similar colour hues with the milkweed. Haiku is good.

Diane, I am always impressed with your photography but I think you've outdone yourself this time. This image is magnificent!
