Here’s a monarch butterfly enjoying some yellow orchids. This shot was taken several years ago at Daniel Stowe Gardens in Belmont during their All’s A-Flutter show.
Here’s a pretty butterfly on a Chinese Abelia bush. They love this bush!
Here’s a video of swallowtails feeding on salt and minerals from the rocks and gravel.
I’ve always had flowers and plants that attract butterflies and my flowers are doing great. BUT, where are the butterflies?? I haven’t seen many at all this year.
If you know anything or are experiencing the same thing, please comment.
This shot was taken in the NC mountains this spring.
A swallowtail on purple phlox.
Small orange petunias in my new shoe planter. Butterfly checking it out!

Go to my SmugMug gallery for more butterfly photos.
These butterflies were getting ready to mate. Pretty neat to watch.
These two were on my purple spider flowers today. Pretty neat to catch this.
