I just love both of these, purple coneflowers and double orange daylilies. The former are native american wildflowers and attract pretty native american wildlife, as you'll see. The latter are equally easy to grow, and co-ordinate nicely, picking up the orange color of the echinacea but contrasting nicely as to flower shape and foliage. What, you don't see any butterflies? Keep looking...:)
...and looking...(don't you just hate those email jokes that tell you to keep scrolling down?
The only real downside from a photographer's point of view, is that butterflies, like daylilies, are most active in bright strong sunshine, whereas dawn and dusk make for better, more attractive light.
