Tabasco ~ while outside today, I noticed the salvia and a variety of scullcaps have a heavy flight pattern of butterflies. I tried for a photo on either but they move too fast for this old gal.

I did capture this girlie on the Gomphrena globosa ~ bachelor buttons. I have both purple and red and she totally ignored the red but lit on every purple one that was in the sun.

Incidentally it seems the purple and blue blooms are holding their interest today.
