Who am I? #104423 Aug 6th, 2007 at 12:07 PM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY plants 'n pots Purl One plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY Well I guess they don't call this a BUTTERFLY bush for nothing!!! But who is this butterfly - I've not seen one like this around here before - I have lots of swallowtails and monarchs, but this one is different. Here are 2 pictures of the same pose, but on different flowers - it was the best I could do when it was about 5 feet above me!

Tried to use that picture for my desktop but it was not quite as nice as yours was. Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
