| The plant. A legume, trailing and semi-erect, perennial. |

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
Cool flowers & seed pods, and lovely little skipper! =)
ReplyDeleteAh, these bring back memories.
ReplyDeleteWe call the plant "trefoil" because it has clusters of three leaves. And the butterfly is a skipper. Skippers have hooks at the end of their antennae.
Beautiful!
