    I saw this bush in Guanajuato, Mexico in October. It has small red flowers, and attracted lots of orange butterfies. It would be great if you are able to identify it. Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear barbaraaaa, good morning. I'm sorry I can't help you with your question. Mexico is a long way from my region of expertise. While sometimes I can recognize plants (or at the least the genus of plants) from distant lands, in this case I cannot. I would recommend you contact an herbarium in Mexico or in Texas where you might find some botanists with expertise in that region of the world.
