He Brings Me Fireworks!
Happy 4th of July! I hope that wherever you are, you are able to celebrate the freedom that we have in our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Verne brought me a beautiful bouquet of natural fireworks back from his daily run this morning. What a blessed gal I am!
The bouquet consists of wild sweet pea, black-eyed Susan, daisies, and chicory. Anyone know what the orange flower is?

I'm pretty sure the orange bloom is Butterfly Weed. My folks are in KY and it grows wild there, but it's very rare. The seeds are like $40/oz! Someone must be cultivating it to be able to put it in bouquets!!! It's a very pretty flower, and the butterflies go crazy over it!
I'm thinking it's in the milkweed family, but am not sure about that.
Yes, the orange flower is butterfly weed. It grows in abundance along the railroad tracks where I live (SW Ontario, CAN).
It does not transplant well, but it will self seed.
I think Erica is right. It is from the milkweed family. It gets very similar pods in the fall.
Is butterfly weed the same as penta? It looked like penta to me, and I know penta is a self cultivating flower here that draws butterflies. I wonder.
Very pretty boquet. My boys used to bring me dandelions. I put those in vases too, but yours are much nicer.
