These are just the CUT AND COME AGAIN mixed colors. I Have been having lots and lots of butterflies on the zinnias lately. Hummingbirds and Goldsfinches too but I can never manage to get a picture of either of those Grumbling

Fantastic, Christine. In the first picture he looks like he is standing at attention Lovey dubby

I am really lucky I even managed to get a shot of those butterflies. Forget trying for the hummingbirds. They zip around much too fast for me. The Goldfinches here fly off if I go near the zinnia beds.

Very nice Christine. I love goldfinches. I only have seen an indigo bunting once in my lifetime. I wish they were more plentiful around here.
