Having a look round the garden this afternoon and noticed this little beauty.  Dashed for my camera and it obligingly waited for me.

A male Pea*ock butterfly I believe. :-\ (Put the asterisk in to fool the censors ;D) Any experts know if I'm right.
Happy gardening all...........Pat

He's sitting on a white daff Aqui which has got a bit battered by the wind.  If you are wondering what the object is beside the flowers it is the top of one of my solar lights.
Happy gardening all...........Pat

Lottie-less until I can afford a house with it's own garden.

What a beauty Patricia, and how kind of him to wait for you to run and get your camera :D
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

I think I may have seen one of those flitting around the garden today, along with 2 lime green/yellow flutterbyes.  No idea what they could be, I am as knowledgable with butterflys as I am with birds.  Also, loads of great big bumblling bumble bees.  I keep asking them to nip off to my allotment and play with my broad bean flowers, so fingers crossed.

Great photo by the way  ;D
