Excellent job on the butterflies, Michael, and you did well on the flower, too. I've never seen one quite like that one, so I'm glad you shared it.

This was the first ime I saw this flower, it was actually in some bushes, I stopped to capture the butterflies and saw these in between, sorry but I can't help with the name. Thanks for the comment though.

These are excellent pictures. I particularly like the final one with the beautiful colours, DoF and focus and its defined contrast between foreground and background, good job Mike
