Shame it’s a weed here. I love the yellow. Can’t be bothered getting rid of all seedings.

The two I sent you @jeatacake are 2 other varieties... The leaves are a little bigger on the candle tree and the popcorn cassia have more narrow longer leaves 😆 but the flowers are beautiful on all! :) hope to collect seed from this one too!

Theresa,can u give me any ideas on planting some plants together for butterflies. I've got a few from this yr and wanting to add alot more for my garden😀 Thnxs in Advanced❣️😍

@Acetaker They flock to lantana, verbena, plumbago, Mexican torch flower, sunflowers, zinnia, milkweed, look for native wildflowers in your area, grow those too! I'm sure there are lots more that you may find in your area, vs here in Fl, when you see butterfly pics look to see what flowers they are on :)

Acetaker

Here they love Zinnias, touchmenots,etc that I did grow this yr. I've seen them even ok m some flowers that wouldn't think they would love..lol! I wanted to thank u again for my babes. Just let me know if u may have seeds for the ones I mentioned in comment.. thnxs again😉😊😍

Yes, I agree @moore.794 very interesting creatures. Just not very friendly in a butterfly garden! 😕

I will send you those seeds @punkyKy ....as well as some cassia too! You will attract a lot more monarch, swallowtail and sulphur butterflies with them!
