Plant some clumps of aster, add a bit of autumn sun and what do you have? Butterfly Central Cafe!

Enjoy! :)

Thanks Val - I call them my "flying flowers". :)

There is a slight oopsy on my part though, the top butterfly is a Peacock, (senior moment on my part!). Here's a real Tortoiseshell I took ealier in the year
