In the garden with my old butterfly net
My book THE ART OF BUTTERFLY GARDENING will be out in the spring from Skyhorse Publishing. The second shot is more like an old-fashioned photo, a throwback to the old days of butterfly gardening in England. The third was just for fun. How do you make a self-portrait interesting?

Butterfly Flower ID 1
#1 is salt heliotrope, I think. #2 Echinacea “Flame Thrower?” #4 and #7 is Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). The yellow and white flowers in #6? #8 is Purpletop vervain. Is #9 a sunflower of some kind? #10 is a rose bush. I need to identify #3 and #5 please. 
Swallowtails
Palamedes, Pipevine, and Spicebush Swallowtails.
