Toni these butterflies are on milkweed, but I do not know which variety as I am not that good on botanical names. It gets a purplish flower every summer; makes the pods etc. We also have orange milkweed around here, but I do not have a picture of that one. Except for the flower color, I cannot tell them apart. Is this the kind you are looking for ? I took the picture [one is an edited version with the brown frame] to get the butterflies. These plants grow on the edge of my field if the power company did not poison them last summer.
