Purple Coneflower


In the past, I used to take mainly native plant pictures. Lately, my interest has been focused on birds. Well, the other morning I came across this gorgeous Purple Milkweed plant and decided to take a shot or two. Sometimes you just get lucky because at the same moment I decided to take a picture, a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird decided to take a drink. The Purple Milkweed is one of six different milkweed plants we have on our property and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the only hummingbird species in this area.
