Thanks daisybeans, That is what they call the double lilac. I got a small shoot off my sis many years ago. I always loved it ........ b
lovely butterfly and lilac, B--The only butterfly that I have seen was one white cabbage butterfly...but the season is young.
Thanks Sjoerd & C C I was suprised myself an thought it was a mite early. It was 78º maybe it smelled that.LOL It was a nice welcome.
We only have the usual white butterflies too at the moment but how I wish I would see one like yours in my garden.
Odd huh? Maybe I started something? Kidding. I have lots of bumble bees too .....Loving my flowers for sure .. b
We started in January with the Cabbage Whites, with such a warm and mile Autumn and Winter we had those up until sometime in November, none that I saw in Dec tho. Clouded Sulphurs showed up in late Feb and I saw our first Black Swallowtail in March. Lately I have seen a couple of Victories and dozens of Hackberry Emperors playing under the Hackberry trees...those are really fun to watch.
We've got the cabbage white, the Nymphalis urticae, small tortoiseshell? and the moths now. We haven't got a wide selection of butterflies here.
hehe thats funny, i just finsihed posting a topic where i posted the exact same type of butterfly in but i didnt know its name until i came here and saw your one! thanks..
