The Red Admiral

June 17, 2016 by Ogee

The Red Admiral Butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) is supposed to be quite common in our area, yet, I don’t ever recall seeing one in my garden before. I guess the Butterfly Bush was just too tempting! What’s mine is yours little friend. Come back and visit soon.

Magical Friends

April 9, 2016 by Ogee

The first time I saw these towering plants, I thought I had entered a fairy tale land. The Pride of Madeira (Echium) generally grows near the coast in California.

Metamorphosis

May 4, 2014 by Ogee

“The butterfly is a flying flower, The flower a tethered butterfly.” ~ Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun Butterflies appear like flying petals flitting through the air. So beautiful – we forget the transformation required to achieve that beauty. From cocoon to caterpillar – their beginnings are far more humble. “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” ~ Richard Buckminster Fuller We chuckle when people meet their perfect pup at Homeward Bound and think […]
