Fall Flowers And A Lovely Barn
So this year, the most colorful fall foliage around here is these flowers. Perhaps fall is later than some people and flowers think it is.

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly

 

Giant Swallowtail Butterfly On Zinnias

(Papilio cresphontes) 

This most magnificent of butterflies has the ugliest of caterpillars. Camouflage is their main form of defense. Rather than blending in with the leaves or flowers like some other caterpillars, these little guys instead choose to make themselves as unappealing as possible by resembling bird poop.

Sunflower Maxamillians With A Touch Of Fall Color,
Helianthus maximiliani
A native prairie perennial, this sunflower is a desirable wildlife cover plant. This species is palatable to deer and numerous species of birds who eat the seeds, and attractive to Bees & Butterflies. It was named for the naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, Germany, who journeyed in the American Great Plains and studied their natural history and anthropology, in the 1830s.
