3. These are absolutely wonderful!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls them "flutterbyes", it's a word that I got from my niece, though I'm sure it's her creation.

7. I think I got the word from my little sister when she was 4 or 5
It just made perfect sense, since the thing was fluttering by at the time :)

11. gorgeous pictures - thank you!

they're all lovely, though some of the orange flutter-bys on the red/pinkish flowers are stunning color combinations.

:hi: and thanks! Nice to see the wee Quinn (and of course Althea) face in your sig line...
