Butterfly Milkweed

Asclepias tuberosa

Description:

Orange flowers that attract many butterflies

Habitat:

Wooded

Notes:

The woods around my house are full of wildflowers but these bright orange flowers are the only ones we've seen so covered in butterflies. Every time we go by there are 10-20 butterflies all over it.
