Tortoiseshell
I needed to encourage butterflies to my garden, I new Buddleja would attract them. So called at a small local plant nursery in Ringstead Norfolk. I was able to purchase a dwarf version of this vigorous shrub, I was aware it existed, but none of the garden centers had it as it is quite a new strain, It's called "Buzz" and is in five colors, grown in a container it's size is 60 x 60 cm (we will see) I chose magenta www.thompson-morgan.com/how-to-grow-buddleja-buzz
The Butterflies are on it, they just love it. they stay still, even my cats don't scare them. so taking a photograph is much easier, With these pictures I used my standard zoom 24-105mm with a 12mm extn tube which meant my lens hood was
very close to the subject, they so love what they getting from the flowers,... or they are high on it!
