Hi folks
With a visitor to my RSPB Homes for Wildlife blog wanting to post me a photo of butterflies on Sedum, I thought the best way was to open it up as a topic for everyone :-) Tell us which flowers work best for you.
Here's one to kick us off, the gorgeous Painted Lady on Ivy (what a year it has been for the Lady, eh?) - and I hope you'll come and see my full blog post about Ivy and the responses here http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/blogs/hfw/default.aspx
If you want to drop by my RSPB wildlife gardening blog, it is updated every Friday, and I'd love to see you there - www.rspb.org.uk/community/blogs/hfw

I saw a lovely pair of peacock butterflies on daffodil blooms earlier this month. I have also planted two buddleja lochinch, which have pale blue/lavender coloured flowers with bright orange centres.
