No wonder they talk about this flower as being such a favorite in Texas. I have seen many species of lupine in many places, but these are the brightest blue ever!
I always have the feeling, when I see a milkweed pod split open, that the seeds are bursting with the desire for freedom. A breeze comes along, and off they fly--free at last! This shot is of such a seed pod with many of its seeds still enclosed, and accompanied by one small milkweed bug. 8/8/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Free At Last! ~ My new milkweed plant has many seed pods on it. This is the first one to open up, to let out its seeds. They began to lift and fly in the afternoon breeze. I had to grab my camera to capture them before they could fly away.
