Butterfly

We went to Hampton Court Flower Show today, courtesy of my Mum who had got tickets, but couldn't go as she is now abroad. Never been to a flower show before, so didn't know what to expect. Certainly lots of flowers, but I would baulk at paying a large sum of money to go into a show where the main purpose it seems is to buy plants and other gardening associated goods. The scarecrow entries from local primary schools were very inventive, and I really enjoyed the butterfly dome, as you can see. Extras include a magnificent bonsai and a wonderful orchid.

Ps we think this is a Grecian Shoemaker, but I am happy to be corrected!
