    My autumn joy is just now starting to turn pink and the butterflys are going crazy over them. There were 8 at once . And about a gazillion honey bees!

    I think we know that as a pink sedum - the plant not the butterfly, and mine is soon to open. The butterfly is stunning. Such a clear fab photo!! Well done you.

    I tried to get a pic of one with their wings spred, but every time I would push the button, they would snap their wings shut! Glad you like the pic!
