Wonderful shots Brian.
Due to various things we did not get any bedding plants in this year so any butterflys that flap into our garden flap off for better offerings elsewhere quite fast.

I love the butterfly shots. The fifth one, Painted lady on sedum, is my favorite.

Lester- I haven't planted any annuals either. Butterflies and bees seem to like the bottlebrushes I have plus of course Sedum spectabile which almost grows as a weed.
