Even though the flowers are beginning to fade we’re still enjoying peacock, admiral and painted lady butterflies on the Buddleia. The painted ladies seem to be most at ease around our paparazzi and you can see more images in an earlier post here.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday,
with love from Xenia xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Lisa 🙂 When you stay still near the flowers the butterflies will land very close to you and help you get some lovely close up shots 😉💖🦋
