The end of summer is within sight but there is still a plethora of glorious creatures to delight in. Our Butterfly Bush (Buddleia), Coneflowers (Echinecea), and Bee Balm (Monarda) have had non-stop visitors all season, especially Butterflies!

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

A very inspiring post. The photos and quotes are uplifting and the butterfly memorial sounds wonderful. Thanks for posting this! The world needs good news and good deeds like this:)
Your bee balm looks great and thanks for sharing all the pictures. I had wonderful bee balm but the heat got it I guess. You have tried eating the flower petals, right? They are amazing - a sweet not like anything else in the world taste and very pretty in salads too.
Beautiful.
