.. what color would you like ?

- multi shades of orange in the Kwanso Daylly - purple delight of Buddleia davidii / Butterfly Shrub - golden tones of a Dragon fly - and the Lady of the Garden of Surprises .. American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) - love the differences in the wings of the Lady - but, keep the soft, sage greens in mind - very soothing while waiting for a breeze (c) All Rights Reserved
