This Morning Outsideby Diane PorterAugust 8, 2016 Sometimes in the middle of the summer birding can hold fewer surprises than during spring or fall. Then I start paying more attention to wildflowers. Like this Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) that's blooming in a wet meadow near Birdwatching Dot Com. There was a momentary shadow, and a Giant Swallowtail butterfly flapped past my face and onto the milkweed. Black on the upper side, yellow below, it danced weightlessly all over the flower. Now there's a good reason to plant native wildflowers.
