Buddleia and Danaus plexippus

What those weird words in the title??!!?

Buddleia is the name for Butterfly Bush.  Danaus plexippus is Latin for the Monarch butterfly. And together they made my day this afternoon.
It is not often that the butterfly stops and lets the photographer take all the photos he/she wants - but this one did. I kept moving closer to it, and got about 4 feet away before it flew - but it came back after a few minutes.
Anyway - enjoy the riot of color and design!!
