Yeah, the coral honeysuckle will vine and climb on anything near it, usually making itself at home on small understory trees or bushes. I usually find it growing best under trees or at the edge of the woods.

I actually was mistaken on those "larkspurs". They are mountain garlands. I still think they're beautiful.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Oh, Mountain Garlands are very pretty, by any name.

Gleni, that's one of the swallowtail butterflies, I'm thinking its an Eastern Swallowtail. They are very beautiful.

Oh, I thought Gleni was talking about the one I posted with the thistle. *Blush*

Thank you for clarifying, Josephine.

The butterfly in my avatar is called "Buckeye". Smiling
