I don’t think this has been a very good year for Butterfly’s. I have not seen many at all. Even in the plantations, which have a huge number of flowering shrubs, they have been scarce.

This was taken in a flower garden in front of the main house of Magnolia Plantation (down the road so it’s an easy visit).

Magnolia and Middleton plantations have had some of the most recognized and famous gardens since the mid 1600’s. Talk about pressure.

I always know we can find a few to photograph in their garden.
What lovely photos Ted!
Thank you. The plantation gardens around me always have beautiful flowers and of course Butterfly’s. I walk through the property often, but wait until tourist season slows down before visiting the gardens.
