July 26: Butterfly Bush

The butterfly bushes are beginning to bloom and the butterflies love the blossoms.

Hope to see some lovely butterfly shots in the coming days, then. Lovely shot. The focus is excellent as is the background with the unobtrusive bokeh.

What wonderful colors.

Very pretty! I wish I could grow one, but the deer would probably eat it!

@milaniet Thanks. I have three butterfly bushes. The butterflies have not always flown to them. The butterflies seem to like the other flowers better.

@olivetreeann Thanks. I am having the most difficulty this year with the Japanese beetles and with the squirrels. The squirrels are eating the green tomatoes!

@craftymeg Thanks.

@pyrrhula Thank you.

@daisymiller You might try looking on line for a natural concoction they don't like which you could spray on the tomato and when you're ready to eat, rinse off and still eat the tomato. I know they don't like cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes but I'm not sure you'd want either of those watered down and put on the tomato.

@daisymiller For squirrels that is.

Fabulous dof.
