The first turtlehead blooms!
A little info from NC State’s plant database:
- This plant attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Also supports Baltimore Checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton) which has one brood from May-June in the south and June-August in the north. It also supports Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) which has two to three broods from May-October except in the deep south where it can be seen all year. Common Buckeye rarely uses this host plant in North Carolina.

Really pretty and again good for attracting wild fliers!
Can’t wait to see more in bloom in the cluster they’re making!
