One couldn't ask for a better color combo. This is a variety of fritillary--haven't determined what one.

Haven't been here in a very long time--just thought I'd check in, read some posts and post one of my own.

Hi, Diane! Glad to see you here in the forum again :-) This is what I call impeccable timing. The colors are brilliant (it's making me happy! hehehe). :-) Looks like that flower deserves a pic of its own, too. (*

WOW Some intense color there...Hey, is that a bee sharing that flower with the butterfly?!?! L8r!

'Tis a bee. This was early in the morning--you can tell from the butterfly shadow on the sunflower. Really lovely intense color.
