Young Swallowtail butterfly on Milk Vetch(Goat's Rue)

A new version of Trout Lily to me

Spent a lovely May Day hunting for wildflower specimens for our local fund raiser. We display the flowers and folks pay to view them, buy plants of all kinds, find a treasure at our boutique, or gain free information about plants, watersheds, fires, and noxious weeds. Found quite a few, and had a wonderful time locating them as we have had warmer weather than usual, so flowers were in different places, profuse or non-existent.
