Since the plants are already flowering its time for the butterflikes to hover around. You can click them if you have a camera with a zoom feature.

Here's a few from last year. It's still a little cool here, so not too many butterfly's as yet.

Here's a few hummingbirds also.

Very nice garden, it will be more so when the plants start to fill out. I can see the need to keep going can be hard to resist. Thanks for sharing.

I love the hummingbird shots Licenter, a bird we don't have here in Britain.

I have butterfly bushes and I have the Joe Pye Weed, the later attract more butterflies. So if you have space issue and want butterflies, go with the Joe Pye Weed it is not as pretty but the butterflies love it.
