Butterfly Garden

Some of my summer butterfly pics

I grow a lot of passion vine because we have a large population of Gulf Frittilaries here.

I noticed a butterfly nectaring on my Pride of Barbados (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) this morning. I don't ever remember any butterflies on this before. Not sure what it was and I don't think the pictures are clear enough for an ID. On looking again at the pictures, maybe it was a GF also.

'Love that pride of Barbados, Pam! And, yes, the second one is a gulf frit, too.

Thanks for posting your beautiful pictures!

Thanks Sherry! We are getting some rain here in Texas this summer and the gardens are really happy.
