#SundayYellow with a sulphur #butterfly at #StratfordButterflyFarm, conveniently sat on a matching flower! Easy to see how 'butter' flies got their name with this one (though I think it was brimstones that capped it!) #vitaminN #NaturePhotography #StratfordUponAvon

Millions of monarch #butterflies arrive in the forests of central Mexico in late October/early November, the time of Día de los Muertos, traditions believe the butterflies are the returning souls of deceased loved ones visiting the living. It was lovely to see so many at #StratfordButterflyFarm
Monarch butterflies who start off as green and yellow caterpillars, and pumpkin decorated for Dia de los Muertos and a wall hanging

🌿 The giant staghorn fern, Platycerium grande, is an epiphytic marvel! It anchors itself to trees without drawing nutrients from them!
🌿 Native to Australia, this fern thrives in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity.
