    Brilliant for attracting butterflies, although it isn't clear, there were probably 20 Whites feeding on the flowers of this one plant.

    Have never seen that one before, Rolf! It is very beautiful!

    Looks like Butterflies whirling round as its name suggests. Guess that is partly what attracts them?

    Was that in France?
