The gardens were too wet to work .
When I saw the female Tiger Swallowtail
in the Chinese Lilac I knew I would be
spending my day with the butterflies.
I love her hearts on her upper underwings.
and put it in a bowl of water on the deck.
In came another similar Lady.
She had different eye spots.
I looked in my field guide.
New to my backyard, The American Lady!
I am happy the female Orioles have found the treats.
is a perfect way to spend a cloudy, windy Wednesday.

Dear Sherry,
Butterflies are but a dream in this country garden. Another day of rain and low temperatures (8C)
Tku for sharing your beauties.....don,t the butterflies look so pretty on the lilac blooms.
My fruit trees show their blossom but there are no takers.....the weather keeps the bees away.
I believe it may be a bad year for fruit in Kent, the garden of England.
Sherry, your butterflies are true beauties. Congrats on the new butterfly for your garden. I saw my first Red spotted purple yesterday. It was really windy here too. Not too wet here. We have the opposite problem. WHINE
I revel in your knowledge---and your beautiful spirit
Wow,super photos,especially the Swallowtail and the underwing of the Painted Lady
