butterfly heaven


Today is defintely a day for flying. Around my deck is a swirling cauldron of butterflies, hoverflies and bees. Attracted by the asiatic lilies that have just opened on one side and the buddlejia in full flower on the other, its a veritable feast.
The hoverflies also seem to be loving the orange shuttlecock-like flowers of the helenium on the bank and the bees have even taken to sleeping on the contorted lilac arms of the veronica fascination, they cant get enough of it!
Here are some of the photos from this mornings winged wonders on the buddlejia.
