I always know there will be Long-wing (aka Zebra) Heliconia (Heliconius charithonia) in the garden when the Senecio confusus is blooming. They are common here but always appreciated. All the nectar lovers are drawn to these blossoms. Sometimes the bees chase the butterflies, sometimes the butterflies chase the bees, the hummingbirds mostly attend to business. It seems to be a friendly competition, perhaps because the blossoms are abundant.
