Above: Asclepias - Butterfly Milkweed bloom leaning toward yellow. Can be true yellow to deep red and often both colors occur on plants within feet of each other. The bugs are "blister beetles" which I was told will blister horses lips and mouth and they will not eat any forage or hay with blister beetle scent.
