Take a closer look at our beautiful butterflies

Posted by Jim Gardiner on 28 Jan 2009 at 03:37 PM

They are still taking my breath away.  Glorious butterflies are attracting many, many visitors.  Here are some of my favourite photos.  But I wanted to add - the Garden here at Wisley is also coming alive right now.  The snowdrops are coming out, the daphnes smell wonderful, and the witch hazels are wonderful this year. 

Meanwhile, back to the butterflies.  They are so at home in the Tropical Zone that they are happily feeding from the Plumbago indica and Calliandra tweedei more than the feeding stations.
