    There's just something about Echinacea isn't there. Makes the butterflies even more beautiful.

    The shots with the green and gold bee are incredible!

    Sue, great pictures as usual. we don't get many butterflies around here, don't know why, as I have plenty of flowers which would attract them.

    How did you train that gorgeous painted lady to pose in so many different positions? Are you the butterfly whisperer?

    Great photos, loved seeing your butterflies. My coneflowers and phlox are blooming but we have hardly any butterflies. The cold and wet have been really hard on them.

    Those cone flowers are critter magnets, aren't they!? Great shots of your visitors. I saw the first goldfinch on our cone flowers Saturday, so I guess the seed development is far enough along to begin tempting them. ~~Rhonda
