I hadn't seen the spring butterflies at the Desert Botanical Garden yet so I made a trip out there yesterday morning to see how they were doing. It was a warm morning so they were doing splendidly. They love it when it's warm and they were flying all over the pavilion. Above is a White Peacock butterfly.
Here we have a Gulf Fritillary.
A Pipevine Swallowtail was perched in the sun.
And this last one I believe is a Great Southern White. I timed my visit perfectly. As I was leaving, about 60 to 70 young school kids were arriving. I got out of there just in time.

I mean, the butterflies AND the photos.
What a beautiful photos of the butterflies!
Well, I was going to post a butterfly in a day or two but now I'm not so sure. I can't compete with these splendid specimens...and how come you're so smart you know all the names.
Ah, the heck with it, I'll put up my flutterby and you can tell me its name. OK? :) Meanwhile, have a great weekend!
I've never seen some of those. Very pretty!
What a lovely variety of them!
