Butterflies
As I'm out in my garden, I look and and see the most beautiful Butterflies. I'm not sure what this bush is, but the butterflies seem to love it.
I'm just noticing the yellow ones. He waited and let me get the perfect shot. Thank You
look at these guys
these photos just make me so happy with my canon t5i
how do you like these Monarch. I am in GA and when we go to Callaway Gardens, i love the butterfly conservatory. i am so blessed to be able to have this feeling in my back yard. I can sit out on the deck and watch my garden grow, and now enjoy these beautiful Butterflies, even the little ones.

Butterfly bush!

@Denise Wallace Just an FYI.... The bush goes dormant for the winter, which is why you probably didn't notice it before. It thrives and blooms in summer heat. So don't pull it out if you think it's dying over the colder months. It will come back in spring. If it gets too leggy or scraggly, you can trim it back. Don't be afraid, it's very hard to kill these once they are established and this is one is definitely established. They're quite hardy. Snip any branch just above two smaller branches that extend out from the branch you want to cut, and the two smaller branches will continue to grow. I cut mine back several times over the summer, and then give it one final really good hair cut after the last bloom has dried up. I la-la-la-LOVE these, but my husband doesn't have an ounce of enthusiasm about my garden either. So you and I can enjoy them together! :)
