Butterflies in April

The Common Crow is a butterfly which is often seen in the gardens. It feeds on poisonous milkweeds as a catterpillar, and becomes poisonous itself! Birds don't seem to relish it.
This brown and white butterfly is not so common.


The Sergent butterfly has stripes reminding of the army sergent. This one had lost a part of its wing.

Last Blooming Friday

This is the last Blooming Friday. The Primula is one flower that I would love to have in my garden, but can't have because of the weather conditions. These primroses grow wild in the Himalayas.
These two photos above of the primulas were taken in Sikkim by Kushal Deb.

The Resurrection Lily comes back to life during Easter. This is from my own garden.


The Crucifix orchid has not stopped blooming the whole year!



I dedicate the Forget-me-nots Myosotis scorpiodes to Katarina of Roses and Stuff ,and thank her for hosting Blooming Friday all these months. I shall miss the posts. Thank you, Katarina!
