I’ve had a few posts recently featuring butterflies on a Buttonbush flower head. Here are a few images of just the flower cluster. And yes, it looks a bit like all those virus graphics we’ve been seeing.
The orbs visible in the background are flower heads that have dropped all the individual flowers and are drying out.
And I couldn’t resist another image with a Swallowtail butterfly working over a cluster that is past its prime.
Beautiful captures, especially with the swallowtail on the flower.
Thank you, Greta!
Always fascinating to see photos of buttonbush flowers and I love your swallowtail – especially being able to view so much body!
They are pretty interesting–hopefully I’ll remember next year to look for them as they start to bloom. Thanks!
