Hi, Shirley! What a beautiful capture! The colors are so vibrant on both the butterfly, b/g and the flower - think this is Joe Pye weed (if it's a very tall plant, then, it probably is). Butterflies love it! 27 butterflies?? Amazing!! My camera would be working overtime! :) #1294484Renee Doyle August 03, 2010
