Green and Gold (Chrysogonum virginianum) native to eastern United States from Rhode Island and New York to Louisiana and northern Florida.

Beginning to bloom on my back hill. In the middle of May it will look like this blooming like crazy. The blooms will continue, though not quite as profusely, on through autumn.

It attracts bees and butterflies. This, a Harris’ Checkerspot (Chlosyne harrisii) on a Green and Gold bloom.
