SO pretty! Not only tons of beautiful coneflowers growing together...but THEN you get all those butterflies to pose like that! You must have the magic touch!

Those are Red Admiral butterflies.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Starbucks for butterflies. Great picture!

I just stumbled across this picture and am having an OMG moment. It's so perfect.

Just remembered that last year I bought some coneflowers to transplant. It was late in the day so I set them down in some empty clay pots so they would stay standing and not flop over. Next morning I come outside and think maybe I forgot where I put those danged plants. Not the problem. A squirrel or maybe a gang of squirrels did an 'off with their heads' number on my new little coneflowers. Grrr. Wish I could've done an 'off with their heads' on the pesky culprits!

Anyway, absolutely great picture.
