I inspect all my flowers and shrubs and make sure they are thriving in this heat wave. To my great joy and wonder a butterfly stops by for a visit. Flitting from flower to bud. Hardly stopping long enough for me to see its shape and colors. How can I remember how to draw that? If only my butterfly bush had survived the winter, then maybe my visitor would have stayed longer.

That butterfly wanted to be painted and you did a lovely job; I like the swirls on the end of its wings.

Oh you did a wonderful job on your butterfly despite only seeing it briefly!
I cut back my Lantana pretty hard last fall, and worried that I had over done it and the Butterflies wouldn’t come back if the plant didn’t grow back in time, but it’s coming back and has flowers! I’ve seen Skippers, but no Fritilaries sp? yet. Fingers crossed they come back too!
