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.
