I've been waiting so patiently all year, hoping the plant in my backyard was butterfly weed. It probably isn't, but I found this little guy in my front yard a couple days ago!

Why native plants?
According to the The National Audubon Society:
Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Looks like butterfly weed to me. The bastard rabbits eat mine. No flowers.
My phrasing was confusing. The big plant in the backyard that I wanted to be butterfly weed isn't, but this little plant, in the front yard, is.
