the good - I was out pulling weeds and I see a very nice Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly
the bad - I had to go back in to get a camera
the ugly - right when I get a clear shot and am still focusing , it flies up and over our shed and into the neighbor's trees
so I took a bunch of after the rain shots of my flowers
Pow Wow Wildberry conflower , haven't been doing well but still kicking
The Butterfly Bush the butterfly was at , 1 of 2 in the back yard
a couple petunias from my salvia / petunia planter , all grow from seeds of the same plant - easy wave burgundy velour - it was in a pot with black magic petunias
so I can see where some of the darker ones get their darkness , and have had a few mutants in my black magic seedlings last year , but just a flower or two never whole plants.
finally , something on my orange butterfly weed
a mosquito on my only upright Indian Pink bloom after the rain
and lastly 2 of mom's Portulaca grandiflora
