So far this year I have seen 21 different types of butterflies in my garden

In summer my garden comes alive as graceful butterflies make it home. Peacocks with vivid colours flit from blossom to blossom Busily working gathering nectar pollinating as they go on to next flower. All so pretty I love them all visiting my climbing rambling roses. Red Admirals, Swallow tails and monarchs adding swathes of brilliant colour chased by Skippers and Orange tips as each one vies for one more bloom. While Gatekeepers and Clouded Yellows delicately sip from my hibiscus. A cloud of Fritillary's descend on stocks and Painted Ladies mock the sweet peas. A drone of bumble bees sets the tune for Tortoiseshells to dance to. Purple Emperors set the scene as they visit my asters and begonia's. Ah! sweet summer flowers, all are kissed by Comma's and Coppers bringing my garden to life with joy as they all busily work written 08/12/2015 contest Skat's Butterflies

I've read that a painting of a beautiful garden with flowers in bloom is a dead painting...until you put butterflies. Your garden must be vibrant, Shadow. Congratulations! How are you? I hope you are keeping well. hugs!

G'day Shadow... nice tribute to the beautiful and silent workers in our gardens. Having an array is a sign that the health and variety of plants in your garden is something to be admired - thank you Shadow - Lindsay
