The 3 B's

We have birds....


We have bees....


But no butterflies...Until this gorgeous creature appeared. I watched as she deposited several eggs on the passionflower vine.


I'm always amazed at the miracle of life. Hope you guys have a Happy Easter.

  2. I just started seeing the butterflies as well. They were a little late arriving out my way. I'm not sure why. Maybe the profusion of blooms elsewhere held them up.

    1. Our passionflower vine overwintered so it is pretty large. I kept checking it for butterfly eggs, but no such luck until recently. I did not have a single caterpillar on the vine last year. I'm thinking it was the drought.

  3. GREAT PHOTOS! I love the 3 B’s. I’m seeing quite a lot of Gulf Fliterary Butterflies. They are one of my favorites.

    1. Thank you Lucy. They are a favorite of mine as well. I'm seeing a lot of bees recently, which is a good thing. They seem to be enjoying the Lavender and Bottle Brush Bush in my backyard.
