Busy As A Bee

 My Butterfly Bushes are blooming beautifully.

I have 3 in total and each is filled with gorgeous flowers, lots of bees and even a few butterflies.

This deep purple bush is a "random transplant" as I never planted it, just one day it appeared.

I did a little googling to see if I could find the correct name for this, I think I use to know it.

If you do, please share it in the comments.

This color is my favorite.

I have caterpillars, both large and teeny tiny small and chrysalis, both from this summer and last fall.

It's a whole story I will share another time.

This caterpillar is now in chrysalis form and will emerge

in 10 or so days!
