More flowers for butterflies!

One of my scabiosas (pin cushion flowers) started blooming:

One Scabiosa flower - butterfly blue variety.

So did the snapdragons. They aren’t native – but are used by Buckeyes as a host plant. I haven’t never seen any on mine though.

Wood Betony is native and I believe is a secondary host plant for either Buckeyes or Baltimore’s:
