Massachusetts Butterflies

I drove over to my local garden center, Weston Nurseries, at lunchtime today.   I've been a long-time customer, although I haven't purchased anything lately.    

I enjoyed the butterflies I found there, but I always wonder how they feel about a shopper who opens her camera bag rather than her wallet....  ;)

Sedum and asters were the most popular sources of nectar.
