I am continuing my work on the Wildflower Wall project. There will be a number of associated interpretive panels that illustrate the storyline, and each will be accompanied by a narrative panel that interprets the storyline in narrative. This is one of two pollinator panels, this one limited to butterflies.

The second panel will have a diversity of other insect pollinators.

The third panel in this triptych will be the narrative panel that explains the relationship between our wildflowers and their pollinators.

For those of you not familiar with all of the flowers (all photographed in the Texas Hill Country in Travis County); from left to right, top to bottom:

Firewheel (Gaillardia pulchella)
Plateau goldeneye (Viguiera dentata)
Eryngo (Eryngium leavenworthii)
Texas kidneywood (Eysenhardtia texana)

Butterflies (left to right, top to bottom)

Common buckeye (Junonia coenia)
Tailed orange (Eurema proterpia)
Juniper hairstreak (Callophrys gryneus)
Ceraunus blue (Hemiargus ceraunus)
