Hi All
</div>
<div>
While having my lunch today, I sat beside a dark mauve rhododendron
</div>
<div>
which has just came into full flower.
</div>
<div>
A pair of Sphinx Moths were feeding on the nector in the flowers. We see them
</div>
<div>
each early summer - I don't know their life cycle but our yard must be favorable to them.
</div>
<div>
Tiger Swallowtail butterflies are also feeding. They really go deep into the flower. They come
</div>
<div>
feed at 2 or 3 flowers and then off again.  Fast flyers and sometimes a pair will do a dance.
</div>
<div>
There is also Skipper Butterflies. Little orange and black fellows. Quite a good number - they do not
</div>
<div>
fly as far as the Swallowtails but stay closer.
</div>
<div>
Quite a nice collection of various bees also.
</div>
<div>
The Rhodo is one I grew from seed. Not a spectular plant but has nice flowers that feed a lot of insects.
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the summer
</div>
