Field Notes

Description:

Sulphur butterfly loves to lay it's eggs on this plant. It takes up a lot of space at full growth. The Yellow brackets of blossoms look a bit like candles. The bees love the flowers as well.

Habitat:

I have one also in my Butterfly garden, but because we have had so little rain and too much hot sun, mine has not yet bloomed. While Claire's at school in the shade have many blossoms.
