Hot Lips, Lily of the Nile and Cassius Blue
May 18, 2016 22:22:10 #
Here are three shots from the backyard today. The Hot Lips Salvia is very interesting because the same plant has flowers that are predominately white with just a touch of red. The tiny Cassius butterfly is nestled in a small flower. The butterfly is only approximately 1/2 inch so it was very difficult to shoot. I plan to try with a longer lens to see if I can get a shot where the entire butterfly is more visible.

#1 is so eye catching! The composition is wonderful.
Thank you Linda. I do like that bright red. They are small flowers so there isn't much to them.
