Butterflies are Cheap, If Not Free

I spotted these butterflies hanging around a Milkweed plant at work today.  I took a bunch of pictures, and got a couple of decent ones.  I looked around to try to figure out which butterfly they are, but couldn't.

UPDATE: My guess is that they are one of the Fritillaries, maybe the Great Spangled Fritllary.

The milkweeds were very fragrant, and attracted other visitors too.
