Description
Butterfly on Perfume Balls by Debra Martz There were literally 100s of these little beauties flying all along the trail. The wind was blowing fairly strong so I looked for an area that wasn't heavy with flowers when I spotted these perfumeballs rather isolated and waited for a butterfly to land. I believe this wildflower to be known as Perfumeball, Pincushion Daisy, Fragrant Gaillardia, Rayless Gaillardia and/or Gaillardia suavis. And from my searching on Google, I've ID'ed the butterfly as a Vesta Crescent, (Phyciodes vesta). I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong...just drop a note in a comment.
Captured end of April at South Llano River State Park near Junction, Texas.
