“Butterflies are not insects, 'Captain John Sterling said soberly. 'They are self‐propelled flowers. ”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
“ … I come here every day, say hello to the butterflies, and talk about things with them. When the time comes, though, they just quietly go off and disappear.

They're dainty little creatures that hardly exist at all: they come out of nowhere, search quietly for a few, limited things, and disappear into nothingness again, perhaps to some other world. ”
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 Book 1

Liz Parker, In the Shadow Garden
“Their spirits beat upon mine

I'm curious about that because your beautiful render invites us to visit the botanical garden there. If that were possible, I hope I will be allowed to bring my camera, 😁 .
Great post again!
