Cape Leadwort (Plumbago auriculata)

The Plumbago Blue butterfly – http://www.pbase.com/donfranklin/image/147734956 – is a common visitor to this plant in my garden.
Even though its caterpillars feed on the flower buds and flowers, Cape Leadwort still flowers prolifically.

Oh - the plumbago, in spring I bought one for my balcony and I was very happy with it, now it's inside the house waiting for next spring...
Such a beautiful picture of the lovely bloom, your garden must be a delight Don!
