    Can anyone identify this wild flower?

    Also, can anyone tell me of a forum for butterfly identification?

    Also, also, notice the ladybug!

    The usual location for me:
    Northern New Mexico, USA in the Sangre de Cristo mountains
    Altitude: ~8000 ft asl

    Thanks Ron B. I guess in particular it is a Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa).

    Thanks, Marn, for the butterfly id.
