Butterfly Weed

Root arrived healthy.

Smaller root than expected but growing nicely

I was out of town when my order arrived, but I planted the roots within a couple of weeks. It is growing and thriving --- eagerly anticipating blooms and butterflies!

Nice roots. They grew very well. Very happy.

The butterfly weed is growing nicely, but it is not orange. It is a pale pink color, which is disappointing. But the bees and butterflies like them, so as long as they're happy, I'm okay. I was really looking forward to the contrast of the orange against our purple clematis, though.
