orange again



Continuing the milkweed thread I started two days ago, I have something of a conspicuous ardor for orange flowers, in part, because there are so few of them. Nature seems to prefer red, yellow and blue.

I'll often stop the car to investigate one growing by the roadside, particularly if I have my camera. A second member of the milkweed family is now in bloom east of the nature center along Island Home Avenue and other roads.
