This plant first caught my eye because the leaves stand out as oddly
shaped among the rest of the vegetation. Then I paused to photograph one
in bloom and found this awesome red bug.
It's a Cotton stainer nymph (Dysdercus suturellus.)
I don't have too much else to say about this plant. It grows close to
home, but not in my yard, so I'm not sure if
butterflies use it or not; I just haven't watched it enough.
