Hello, your Buckeye butterfly photos are beautiful. The flowers are lovely. I have some coneflowers, lantana and the butterfly bushes. The butterflies do love them all. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, wishing you a happy weekend! PS, thank you for the visit and comment.
I think that being obsessed with butterflies is a very commendable obsession. You are doing a great service to nature by encouraging people to plant butterfly-friendly shrubs and flowers. Yesterday we had another Monarch hatch and released it to a bright sunny day. It perched on the Sugar Maple and then went on its way. We gave it the best start in life and hope that it does well.
I will plant some coneflowers next spring, Debbie.
Beautiful butterfly photos 💕
Thanks for the info, Debbie!
The butterflies and moths are so beautiful with their details and I love having lots of books to figure out the IDs! I never remember! lol We have lots of flowers to attract them....Pentas are a fav!
I think it's great that you love your butterflies … it means we get to see them through your fabulous photographs.
All the best Jan
Magnificent!Hugs!
Wonderful detail in the wings! Might have to start calling you The Butterfly Lady! Now you just need to find a purple butterfly. :-)
I love butterflies too. Your shots make justice to this beauty!
Oh such lovely pictures!
Beautiful!! I was just watching one in the yard with my little nephew. He was chasing it. :) Not this kind, but a dull yellow Monarch...if they can be yellow? Otherwise it was something else. The Monarchs are usually orange around here.
Beautiful butterfly photos!
Right now the main attractions in my garden are Butterfly Bush, Phlox, and Turk's Cap.
Now if the butterflies would just hold still and pose for me...
Hope you are having a great day!
Such beautiful pictures ... you are the butterfly whisperer though! It’s so hard to catch them sitting still enough to photograph! We see the buckeye in Florida and I think they are way too special to be called ‘common’ ))).
Wow !! Beautiful butterfly !!!
Greetings
Great images!!
I'm giving this list of flowers to my husband for planting next year. I love butterflies and your photos today were magnificent.
Blessings and hugs!
