The Cloudless Sulphur is a large yellow butterfly seen in the Garden mostly during the latter part of the summer. Its size and bright color make it an attention grabber as it flutters effortlessly among the flowers. As seen below, a favorite nectar plant is the Orange orchid tree (Bauhinia gallpinii), which doesn't start to bloom until September.
