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. :-) Frances
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. Meems @ Hoe and Shovel
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.
nice pictures
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is attracted to a lovely flower! So pretty!

Your flower and butterfly are gorgeous. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful series. I especially like the first photo. The detail of the butterfly and the soft color of the flower look wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower. We grow a closely related species known as the Snail Vine and the flower is purple.
