Realracer2 What is the name of the plant thet beautiful butterfly is on? I am preparing a flower bed now to be used as a butterfly/hummingbird garden. Thanks Barnabus
Barnabus, right now I cannot think of the plants name. I planted most of the plants in my garden about 14 years ago. I will do some research and let you know if I can remember.
I do know that I have a lot of liatrus, in my garden which attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds. Butterfly weed is also good for butterflies. Good luck with your garden.
That is a great shot. That butterfly looks like the one in my pic. I have two butterflies. One is white and the other black like yours. Both the white and black one have the same pattern on their rear, where it is blue and orange. I suspect they may be a male and female of the same species; but, I could be wrong. The only draw back to mine is they weren't in such a beautiful setting. I shot mine in White Sulfur Springs in West Virgina. Where was yours taken? I know butterflies have a tremendous range. It doesn't look like anything that delicate can fly as far as they do, or go anywhere that the wind doesn't force them to go.
