Index of Subjects The fascinating discussion of butterflies inspires me to ask about a nearby meadow that is full of what I believe is a hawkweed, probably Hieracium pilosella. Lately every sunny day there are more and more yellow butterflies flitting around this meadow. As they are almost the same color as the hawkweed blossoms, and flit energetically just above the flowers, the sight is quite magical. The butterflies often flutter around each other in groups of two or three. They rarely seem to land on the flowers, but I do see them puddling on areas of exposed soil. I'm sure this is a common butterfly, and I'm embarrassed not to know what it is, but I would love to hear more about it. Wild Flora in Birch Hill
