| These days one can see why summer lilac is also called butterfly bush. |

| Several peacock butterflies, swallowtails and others are frequenting this one. |

We know it as buddleah here and welcome it and its attraction of flutterbyes.
ReplyDeleteIt's very attracting, indeed, especially when the sun shines on the bush.
DeleteMr. BA has a summer lilac and there are so many bees on it I wonder if the butterflies have a chance.
ReplyDeleteYou get Swallowtails!!!!!!
ReplyDelete?????? ;-)
DeleteI did not get that, Mark.
The bottom photograph is a Swallowtail butterfly. We do get them in the UK but very scarce, I have only seen one once. A gorgeous butterfly.
DeleteAh, thanks for explaining, Mark.
DeleteI was surprised, myself, as I had not seen a swallowtail for a couple of years.
Surprising, too, this morning to count 18 peacock butterflies on the buddleah / summer lilac.
Quina casualidad, avui hem coincidit de tema!! (El meu està programat per una mica més tard).
ReplyDeleteUnes papallones han donat moviment al teus ulls. ;-)
Aferradetes, Joan.
Now, that's a coincidence, indeed.
DeleteYes, one peacock / TagpfauenAUGE (sic!) is always watching me. ;-)
Aferradetes, Paula.
Aquí en tenim moltes d'aquestes flors i jo no tenia ni idea de com es deien. Ja he après una cosa nova a casa teva. Gràcies.
ReplyDeleteI quin plaer veure les papallones anant i venint sobre les flors.
Aferradetes, Sean!
També he après el nom de les papallones.
DeleteAlways at your service, dear Carme. ;-)
DeleteYou captured a couple of pretty visitors, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bill. Sometimes I wish I were a better photographer, though.
DeleteA delightful display :-)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. This morning I counted 18 peacock butterflies on the bush.
