Gorgeous dahlia and what's the blue butterfly?

I have a thing for butterflies ... lol.. so in my garden I have three different types of "solar" butterflies :)

Hi Aleatha - thanks for your comments re my poppies - I was also wondering about the blue butterfly 'till I saw your reply to Susan!!! very clever and you can guarantee they'll be out all summer!! your dahlias look very healthy - are they your favorites? - My eldest grandson has just come home after spending the summer with some friends who live just outside Toronto - he may tell me about the trip one day - you know what 14 year olds are like!!!
