Ever since the buddleia started blooming, I have tons of butterflies flying around the deck all the time. Today I counted six at one time sipping the sweet nectar.
I am also seeing hummingbirds every day - sometimes two or three at a time.
No wonder I love buddleias so much!

This is the first year that I haven't had one, and I really notice the difference. I had lots of monarchs in the garden, but not much else.
ReplyDeleteEven with buddleia, all I usually see are monarchs, although I do get hummingbirds at the trumpet vine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pic...I love butterflies...especially Monarchs. They are so pretty.

My buddleia winter killed after a couple of years. I must get another one! This is a beautiful picture. I can almost smell the lovely scent!
ReplyDeleteNow how lucky was that, to capture a shot of two different types of butterflies on your flower??? Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful catch! 2 at the same time! I have sat for hours waiting to get the photos of butterflies I've posted!
ReplyDeleteThose bushes are like a touch of heaven on earth. : ) I have three now, but I'd glad have 20!
