Greetings friends of the community of always a flower. After a long time without passing I bring you this beautiful flower that also had a long time without appearing in my garden.

Its scientific name is Turnera Ulmifolia, I don't know its common name. It is a plant that appears in my garden perhaps brought by birds or butterflies. Whatever its origin, it always grows in the same place.

What I can tell you is that this plant is the favorite of the butterflies that come to my garden. Why do I tell you this? It happens that the butterfly arrives to my beautiful flower, then lays its eggs. The eggs remain there until they hatch and when the multiple caterpillars appear, they can kill my plant in one night.

I say this because I usually see the plant in bloom during the day and the next day I only see the caterpillars on what is left of the plant. Which are usually long green stems devoid of their leafy foliage.

The plant dies and is reborn in a few weeks in the same place, again leafy and with these beautiful yellow flowers. To continue always with the same cycle. Flower, butterfly, eggs, caterpillar and disappears, so far I tell you about this plant with beautiful yellow flowers.

Thanks to all who comment and vote on my publication.
