Butterfly Garden Playing Cards

This painting was inspired by our visit to Edge of the Woods Native Plant Nursery. They have a beautiful butterfly garden that contains all of these plants plus several more in a dense, four foot tall jumble. We have all of the plants portrayed, in our yard in front of the little house we rent. They are goldenrod, milkweed, boneset, butterfly weed, native bee balm, oxeye daisies and red lobelia. Several types of bees were all over the blooms, this summer, along with about a dozen types of butterflies. Painting is acrylic on 30″ x 40″ stretched canvas.
