I took this photo yesterday, with the old family Kodak digital, my new one hasn't come yet. It is a Tiger Swallowtail and was on some wild Phlox (another name for them, can't remember it) growing by my mom's flower gardens. Thought it was neat. Butterflies are another part of God's creation that makes you think "Wow....."

Cool. Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are big!

Your flower is actually Dames Rocket, and is in the mustard family. Phlox has 5 petals, Dames Rocket has 4. It's considered a noxious weed, but I let it grow around my place, I think it's pretty.:D

We love butterflies as well.

Here are some butterfly photos my wife and I took at the butterfly exhibit at The American Museum Of Natural History in NY. It was a nice day so we headed over to the Central Park Zoo as well.

Ooops, sorry Chris. School is out here, guess for some reason was thinking you were home. Maybe you can take a look over the weekend.

Yeah that's it, Dames Rocket,lol. My mom said it but I couldn't remember. Oh well, I'll probably end up calling it Phlox,lol. Did you have a class in Botany or Plant ID Chris? You sure seem to know your stuff:p:D:cool:

Nope, just see stuff, wonder what it is, look it up, and it sticks for some reason. :rolleyes::D
