You sure got a nice one there!
This butterfly is nectaring on Scorpion Tail, Heliotropium angiospermum. It's a Florida native wildflower that small butterflies and other pollinators love. Learn more here: http://lepcurious.blogspot.com/2010/06/scorpions-tail.html
I agree Its on Turnsole (Indian Heliotrope) Heliotrpium indicum
beautiful photo. It's sitting on Heliotrope I think.
A photo worth framing - well done!
