A sapphire sky flower (Duranta repens) that I planted in the garden yesterday. It seems to attract more butterflies than my butterfly bush. I set the potted plant on the ground and went after a shovel. It had Viceroy and Swallowtail butterflies sitting on it when i returned with the shovel. As usual I didn't have a camera within reach.

WHAT??? You don't wear a camera around your neck at all times? Bad Boy. LOL. This is a super shot of the foofies. The lighting is perfect, as is the color, the focus, the background and comp. Nice post for Foofy Friday, Ed.

You will surely have a chance to "capture" the butterflies in the next few days, Ed. The foofy looks great in that partly subdued lighting.

Such an amazing and absolutely beautiful flower and post, Ed. I love those flowers. It probably only grows down where you are though. Too bad. It is so pretty.
