Liatris spicata and Echinacea purpurea are both popular with butterflies. Can you see that freaky, long butterfly tongue? Liatris and Echinacea are common plants of the tall grass prairie. For more Wildflower Wednesday, visit Gail at Clay and Limestone.

Hey MMD~That is a freakishly long tongue! There are bees with long tongues, too...Glad you joined the WW celebration! gail excellent photo
Yes, great photo of a butterfly tongue!
Oh my that is a stunning picture of the butterfly!
And another amazing photo! Love the focus in that one, and congratulations on the honorable mention!
Wow, nice butterfly shot! I am not quick enough with the camera. I've seen these cool butterflies in the garden, but by the time I have the camera out, it flies away so fast!
Great photo, and they don't even taste with that long tongue!

Beautiful photo.
This photo is dreamy.
Great shot, MMD! And the perfect reason to grow natives.
Pretty, so pretty. I have been watching 3 tiger butterflies devour my Butterfly bushes all morning long. They are still going at it now...
My Liatris has been struggling along the past two years. I think the Vole is getting to the roots. I am thinking of moving it to a new spot...
Cool shot MMD. I could imagine my garden without Coneflowers & Liatris. :)
What an amazing picture!
