I cherish the aroma of butterfly bush because it greeted me in my grandma's garden when I was a child, also hostas are a charming sight though I can't remember seeing them before.

Lovely shots! I've been trying to get a decent photo of our butterfly bush blooms....without much success. You have inspired me to go our there and try some more!

Carley, bear in mind that I am using a 200mm lens at a little distance. It would, also, work at 70mm to 125mm distance, and even a "normal" 50mm lens, if you promise yourself not to stand too close (can't be closer than a yardstick for a 50mm lens or the subject will be blurry.) I use longer lenses because I can stand further back & make photos closer up. Hope that helps! :)

Since its hotter in Georgia than my state, I think that my Hostas (been up all year) will have yet to bloom as fast. They come around mid-August. Right now we have some real pretty ones in our yard, Spiderworts, Gerbera Daisies, Impatiens, Bleeding Hearts, Pansies, and more. I don't have a butterfly bush bloom, but I do have a Moutain Loral. There are bees just storming in it!

"Hotter in Georgia"? Dude! You said a mouthful there! I only get to be comfortable in Georgia during three (maybe four) months out of the year. Rest of the time I feel like I need to wear one of those baseball caps with the drink holders on the side loaded with Gatorade. We've got a life-size mold of me "at the ready" just inside the back door of my house, so we can pour me in to remold my body after I mow the lawn. :} (Naw! I just made that up, but I really do "feel" like I'm melting because I sweat so much.) Now, I will be expecting to see the Mountain Laurel (or is it Loral or maybe Dr. Suess' Lorax lives there:) on your blog page.
