BUTTERFLY WEED Asclepias tuberosa

Psalm 24 begins, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (KJV). This phrase “the fulness thereof” is evident about us each summer.

One day in early summer when I was walking to the mailbox, I counted about 20 different wildflowers in bloom. Some were very tiny and some were large, some were rather rare while others were in such abundance that it would be easy to pass them off as boringly common.
