Oh what a beauty, Muhammad! Or should I say two beauties, the flower and the butterfly. And congrats on your fine seed starting display too. Looks like you have had good germination. :-)

A really beautiful series. I especially like the first photo. The detail of the butterfly and the soft color of the flower look wonderful together.

What a beautiful flower. We grow a closely related species known as the Snail Vine and the flower is purple.

I just love this blossom! It looks so tempting to touch. Like it would feel like the satin ruffles of a wedding gown. Does it smell as lovely as it looks?

Very pretty, Muhammad. Looks like a little hairstreak... is that possible? LOVE the butterfly in the previous post, too. So unusual.

Muhammad, I love your blog and photos of plants that you grow. It's so interesting that we grow many of the same things and face similar challenges. Your pictures reminded me that I must plant moonflower vine next year. Susan at Botanical Shots

Very pretty, Muhammad. You're right, it is a Blue but a different one than the one in my blog. I think this is a Pea Blue butterfly (also called Long Tailed Blue). The difference is in the lines on the wings. The Gram Blue doesnt have so many lines and has a few black spots on the hind wing. Slightly confusing, I know but if you're interested you could look up butterfly books by Isaac Kehimkar or by Krushnamegh Kunte. They're very informative about butterflies found in the Indian subcontinent.
