The Desert Botanical Garden has a plant they call a butterfly bush located at one spot in the garden. It always draws in the butterflies. This bush must be especially sweet because the butterflies really do love it.
I can always find butterflies fluttering around this bush. On this day, they were all queen butterflies. In fact, we have a lot of queen butterflies in the Phoenix area. They are the dominate species around here.
Buddleja in Swedish.

ReplyDeleteWow...queen butterflies! I learned something new from this post and did a little more research on them. Its wing pattern is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the beautiful butterflies. I have a hard time getting a good photo of them, they always take off.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those for a while.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I passed by.
Nice! That's not the same butterfly bush we have here in England -- which I believe is the kind Stefan is talking about above. Yours almost looks like a thistle.
