Lovely pictere, Butterfly and Echinops [ stsunning colour and this plant]

Beautiful Janey , well done :o)

Smashing photo. I had one of these in the garden the other day. Not so easy to find as the Painted Lady this year.

Lovely photo of butterfly on a particularly beautiful Eryngium. Not being cocky, just bought one but it's nowhere near as blue as this one, lol.

Oh thanks Wagger....that's right Eryngium.....theyre not round like the Echinops..these are similar to a teasel.....:o)

A truly lovely shot Janey...

Beautiful photo, Janey :o)

Oh...many thanks everyone.....:o)

Lovely photo Janey!
I have seen a lot more Butterflies in our garden this year - when I go to get my camera they have gone!!!

Aw...Anita, there certainly are lots now....I wonder if they are newly hatched?

What a stunning pic, Janey...like most folk I am usually too slow with my camera...but agree there seem to be many more moths and butterflies around this year. It will be interesting to see what the Butterfly Conservation have to say at the end of the summer and if they agree with us all.

Thanks Alz......isn't it great to see an abundance of them.....we must be doing something right at last...:o)

I love the colours!

They are pretty aren't they B_lourenco........I remember Flowercrazy saying these were opposites on the colour wheel, so contrast and complement each other....:o)

Hi Janey - I've got quite a lot of flutterbys too this year :-) I think that plant is Erygium planum - mine attracts the flutterbys too...

Hi Sid.....its great to see them all busy........if Bertie is anything like Pops and Ted...she'll be happy too...Lol!

Hmmmm....yes I know what you mean - naugty Birtie-Birts! lol

Great picture, love the eryngium, mine not as blue either.

Thans Dd......I'm going to try this plant next year, I took this pic at a country park near us, the Eryngium was about 8ft tall...with lots of Commas enjoying it....:o)

Wow..., what an awesome looking butterfly , I just LOVE it's scalloped wings ! Excellent photo Janey.
