A week of flowers. Day 7

Increasingly the BV and I are delighted as much by the insects in our garden as we are by the flowers. I thought I’d end the week of flowers, hosted by Cathy at Words and Herbs, with some of the few close-ups that I’ve managed to capture.

Comma butterfly on Verbena bonariensis. We were so excited – each year we have new butterflies as the garden becomes richer in different foods. Last year, during lockdown, we were visited by commas and rare swallowtails

He was fascinated by Papaver ‘Karine’ for a good 15 mins. It was a wet morning, so perhaps he was drinking?

Peacock butterfly on asters – these late flowers have been the biggest butterfly magnet I’ve ever planted, except perhaps for Agastache

Have a wonderful week – and perhaps you’d like to post just one picture on this final day? Hop on over to Words and Herbs for a big uplift!

My chosen few for 2021’s week of flowers … thanks for looking!
