    Butterfly bush indeed. What a variety. Is it ok if I’m jealous? 🙂 Nice butterfly collection, without the pin….

      I have no idea what kind of bush…the same purple color as I used to have until Japanese beetles ate it down to nothing but scraps and it died. This was at my friend’s house.

      I love these photos, even the goofy one where I cut off the top.

    Amazing pictures Ann. In the spring, a beautiful butterfly “posed” on my hanging plant while I circled slowly around taking pictures. Aren’t they cooperative?

    All weekend I have been noticing butterflies! There seem to be so many this year — do they like dry, hot weather? Love these photos!

      My friends were saying that we had perfect conditions this year in IN. I guess that means the super-wet spring and then the hot dry summer? Thanks, Charity, for peeking at my butterfly beauties!

    Very nice pics. I haven’t seen any this summer where we live. Deb said she’s seen a couple. We’re planting something next year which hopefully attracts some here.

      Charity just said she’s seen a lot here in our state. I haven’t seen a ton, but some. Maybe I don’t have as many flowers as she does! I hope you can entice some to visit. I recommend my friend’s butterfly bush!

    Hi Ann,
    Those photos are beautiful. How did you ever get the butterflies to hold still? I saw them flitting all over our yard this morning, but the only one I caught in a photo was still beating the wind with its wings. I posted it on my blog this afternoon but it’s paltry compared to yours.
    Just lovely!
    Blessings,
    Janis

      The butterfly bush nectar got them to stand still and focus on the job at hand.

      I used a telephoto lens and just snapped away. It was hard to get a good angle, but the bush is planted on a little hillside, so I could stand below and look up at them without disturbing the butterflies or even being noticed.
