That must have been something to come upon that bush, surprise!!!!! If it were me, I would have forgotten my camera.

@Candace: Sometimes I feel like I should have a camera implanted because I often miss some wonderful things.

Beautiful butterfly!!! That plant is really cool looking too. Does it smell as good as it looks ?

@Mary: The fragrance is very light and for me nearly undetectable but pleasant... and as someone who photographs wildflowers and plants I sniff just about every flower and even some grasses... (Sometimes it leads me to a new find.)
@Elora: Me too!
@Dimitrios: Thanks, Dimitrios!

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the info on the buttonbush. I guess this means I'll have to look for one at the garden shop and see if I can attract some pretty things to my yard, next year!

@Bookfool: You might need a really wet yard to accomplish that... these bushes like lots of water. I'm sure you can find some of these near water in Mississippi but here the blooming time seems to be going away pretty quickly.
@Eric Fry: Thanks, buddy!
