I talked about my new Black Butterfly Bush planted just a couple of months ago in this post: Click this link if you missed it: BUTTERFLY BUSH BEE
Also, I posted several days ago about the first butterfly in 2019 on my white butterfly bush. If you missed that post you can see it here: FIRST BUTTERFLY 2019
Today I managed to capture a black Swallowtail butterfly on my black butterfly bush. Yes my day has been made! The butterflies are so big and when they spread their wings, they cover the blooms. Amazing nature to watch. I stood still for several minutes watching this beauty.
Our friend Pam informed me that seeing the bumblebees can bring hope. I am hoping the same is true for seeing the butterflies.

I would say that hope applies to small butterflies too. They also bring hope. Lovely Butterfly, we don’t get Swallowtails here.
Carol, the hand that guides butterflies to your garden is filled with love.
What a magnificent butterfly. What a wonderful picture! (oh yeah the flower was nice also!) 😉
Thanks Doc I have to agree that there are other forces at work in the garden. I look forward to seeing these beautiful butterflies each summer. And happy I have two butterfly bushes for them now.
Oh my!!! Wow, what a gorgeous shot! You lucky duck!!
He caught the corner of my eye from inside with his fluttering. Grabbed my camera and he stayed another ten minutes at least. Love how they spread their wings and sometimes cover the bloom.
The fields and woods near where I live are full of butterflies right now – but none that are as spectacular as this one!
These swallowtails are the largest I have ever seen.
Nature itself a big hope for mankind.
Yes it certainly is for me.
Wishing you all a great weekend!
Nice post with lovely capture .
Thank you very much. 🙂
Have a great weekend Hina
Another great picture. You have so many flowers for the butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
Thank you. I planted these kinds of plants and flowers specifically for the butterflies. When I created Dustin’s garden, that is what I had in mind. To see butterflies and hummingbirds.
Have a very nice weekend my friend.
That’s a really great picture, dear Carol
Thank you my dear friend Lado. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you, dear Carol ….. I also want you a nice day and weekend
I will try, the rains are falling again as I type. But we need the rain. Lots of thunderstorms lately.
Even with us, storms are constant … storm and hail has already done a lot of damage to crops … also trees are rusting and revealing roofs
So sorry so much damage has been done to crops. Trees are down all around here too.
