Oh, how I love those butterflies! I've been researching them since I am having more varieties in my garden lately. I believe I have seen one called "Red Admiral" and a "Viceroy". They are both gorgeous! If I saw what I think I saw, there was a third type of orange butterfly in my yard yesterday. It was a medium-orange color with some faint markings. I also have an eensy, weensy, white butterfly, but I can't find it in my book.
Meanwhile, I saw two gold finches on my bird feeder and wish I could have gotten close enough, and for a longer amount of time, to get a better photo.
This year my garden holds a butterfly bush and bright pink bee balm. The butterflies seem to gravitate towards those flowers. I also have phlox, which will bloom in a few weeks, and blue or purple salvia. I see purple.
On another blog posting, when I finally remember to take my camera outside with me, I'll capture a gorgeous image of some of those butterflies for your enjoyment. Until then, this will have to do...

Butterflies are nice to look at. They are also on the birds menu...
I tried to photograph a goldfinch on the echinacea today, but it saw me and left in a hurry!
I truly love butterflies. AND, goldfinches.
Echinacea! Ah, yes. I thought they were coneflowers. Beautiful garden, Dora!
Yes, I forgot they're called coneflowers too! I love your garden Therese!
Thank you, Dora. And I love your photos as well. We are "kindred spirits".
