Beautiful Butterflies

What a beautiful sight of seeing a butterfly flying into the garden.  They are so graceful as they lightly land on a flower, I've noticed they like single flowers not double.  The Buddlia is by far the favourite and comes in all shades.  The flowering herb the Marjoram is also one of the best for the Gatekeeper and the Small Coppers.
Up here in North Wales I've yet to see the Brimstone but live in hope for such a thing.  Last year for the first time I saw two Dark-green Fritillaries, on a Bramble bush on the cliff edge.
This last week I've sighted two Painted Lady buuterflies, one on water mint by a river and the other in my garden on the Buddlia, what happened to the hundreds that came to this country a few years ago.
Here are a few of the butterflies that I have seen this year.
