WOW . That is something to see . We make a point of planting flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies and birds to our garden. We have one plant, Crossberry Grewia Occidentalis, that attracts bubble-bees when it is in flower, it is quite a sight to see. Thanks for sharing

OMG Faeries everywhere! Nice pics. Must resist the urge to add butterflies to hobby list.
