This is the fancy flowering okra that C got for me, and it’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen–love the colour!

This Tiger Swallowtail did not want to be photographed! I must’ve gone after him three times, and I’m well experienced in taking photos of butterflies, but he’d let me kind of close, and then flutter two feet away. I’m pretty sure he also stuck out his proboscis at me. I kind of got him in the end, at least. Not a great shot, but good enough to see him.
