Beautiful Butterflies

One of the most amazing creatures we see in the garden is the beautiful Butterfly. Graceful and quiet. Gliding from plant to plant, the butterfly is just icing on the cake for appreciative gardeners.

Gardening is more than growing food, it is a way of life. Some gardens are functional and some are beautiful but the rewards for the gardener are the same. Stress relief and low impact exercise are just some of the benefits of gardening. To experience the miracle of nature first hand and be visited by butterflies is just a bonus.

We put together a collection of beautiful butterfly images for you to enjoy:
