Swallowtails and Butterfly Bushes

This Texan was very impressed with the Butterfly TREES on Galiano Island and the attendant Swallowtails. Back in Texas our butterfly bushes grow to about three feet tall, having to struggle with intense heat and dry conditions. However, in British Columbia the rainfall and milder temperatures must make a tremendous difference.

This picture, by my spouse, was taken on the grounds of a delightful pub where we ate lunch.
