Michael photographed this beautiful Painted Lady on 17/08/18 in Boscombe Cliff gardens and commented that although there were buddlieas in the gardens this lady preferred to nectar on a Chinese Plumbago (Ceratostigma)

We do not seem to have had great numbers of this lovely migrant butterflies arriving to our shores this year as yet, but maybe more will arrive in late summer.
