A Liatris Love Affair
The Missouri Wildflowers Nursery catalog states that the Eastern Blazing Star (Liatris scariosa) "has the most intense color and seems to be the best one for attracting butterflies. Pick this if you can only pick one." Did so, and these two monarchs were competing with a tiger swallowtail butterfly for nectar the other day.
