Butterfly and Wallflowers.


Butterfly and Wallflowers.

I have been commenting all summer at the lack of Butterfly visitors to my garden, so was pleased to see this one flying solo today, the last few flowers on the Wallflower Bowles Mauve was definately a favourite, strange really as I have lots of lovely Sedums at their best at the moment but it never went near them.

Yes I have Shirley, they seen to make up largest population of insects in my garden, can't believe I was once terrified that they would sting me, now I just love to see flitting from Sedum, Wallflowers and Lavertera! Disappointed with the very few Butterflies I have seen though'!

Perhaps the strange weather has confused them as well as the plants! ... :o)

Well done ... I have been pruning/shaping a Pittosporum in Mum's garden ... health & safety would have had a field day if they saw me standing on a sturdy plastic re-cycling box to reach the top of it ... well I couldn't leave it looking like a Punk ... lol!
