Tiger Swallowtail by Bob Haynes
This beautiful Tiger Swallowtail was nectaring in the garden of Bob and Olivia Haynes. It was on the plant “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” which is Brunfelsia. The common name refers to the fact that the flowers change colors from purple, to lavender to white. It is a wonderful plant but be cautious as it is poisonous to children and pets if ingested.
