sing like wildflowers
My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Those butterflies are gorgeous. I’ve never seen anything like them — different places, different species. The purple flower — porterweed — is familiar. Lots of people use it in butterfly gardens here.
Thank you Linda! These butterflies are at the California Academy Science museum in the rainforest section. Butterflies just roam around there, although for humans it gets a bit hot and humid.
Good to know that the purple flower is called porterweed. Nice.
The porterweed comes in coral, too — and maybe other colors.
oh, that must be pretty too!!
Gorgeous butterflies 🦋
Beautiful!
This rainforest has an amazing assortment of butterflies! It was mostly peaceful except for the loud piercing squawking from 2 blue parrots.
So beautiful 😍
Love the CA academy of science!
So beautiful! 🙂
Thank you 😊
The butterflies are beautiful – I know they like nectar but didn’t know they liked to sip orange juice too. 🙂
They like sweetness. When we raised butterflies, we put strawberry slices and blueberries for them to eat. Last time the orange slice was kind of old and yucky, but this time it was fresh and pretty. What a difference it makes for taking pictures.
I never knew that Esther. I thought I was making them happy with a puddling dish (sand and filled it with water so they had wet sand to sit and drink from).
