yep, I also wonder wich flower specie is, and it's true, it attracts butterflies, bees, flies and even male mosquitos for nectar.
You can also find on the flowers many predators like Crab spiders, Praying mantis and Ambush bugs waiting for foragers.

I want to know what that flower is and if it is possibly in Florida also. It seems to attract a great variety of butterflies.
