I love flutterbys!

So do I! Flutterbys are the bestest (after fids of course).

@ChromeScholar Do you know the plants as well as the flutterbys? I'm curious about what the two plants with red flowers are. The one the scarlet Mormon is on and the one the zebra longwing and paper kits are on.

I don't. Actually the one the Scarlet Mormon is on I do know. That's a Bottlebrush Tree.

Sorry meant kites.

Beautiful! Where do you see so many different butterflies? Did you go to a butterfly sanctuary ( Not sure what they're called) or just happen across them in nature?

Bottlebrush = type of eucalyptus?

Most of these butterflies are not found in the U.S. We went to the butterfly conservatory in Scottsdale Yesterday. I highly recommend it.
