Flying Beauties

 Mom has been working in the garden deadheading the Butterfly Bushes.  

We know this is the butterfly moth on Miss Violet~
Mom doesn't know the butterfly species as well as she know the plants.
They sure are beautiful!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥
Duke

    Those butterflies (and moth) are so beautiful. You are so lucky to have those butterfly bushes to attract them.

    Our mom doesn't know the flowers or the butterflies but she says she doesn't care. Enjoying the beauty is most important. We haven't seen any butterflies here yet.

    The butterflies are beautiful, Duke. Mom really enjoyed a trip she made many years ago with the grands when they were little. They went to the big butterfly display at Powell Gardens. The kids loved it too.

    They are beautiful. The orange one looks a lot like a monarch.

    Our butterfly bushes are a haven for butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. In the late winter we cut it down to almost the base and it grows back beautifully

    Charlee: "Butterflies and moths are the best! The way they flutter around like they're drunk on nectar or something, we could watch them all day long!"
    Lulu: "You cats could watch a fly on the wall all day long."
    Charlee: "Your point being ... ?"

    Oh my, how beautiful! Keeping the butterfly bushes deadheaded never seems to end. By the way, I actually made the spinach soup recipe and it turned out well. 🙂
