Congratualtions on reaching 500,000, Ien. The million mark can't be far away, your pictures get better and better.

said cabrosh 2008.04.26 at 14:58:03 PDT

Congratulation on half a million views! And thank you, Ien, for this marvellous Album to nourish our Souls. You have such a loving heart, and give so much to everyone you touch. I watched the slideshow of these beautiful creatures, incidentally on plants which I have grown in Mackay, and some of which I can still grow out here in the coalfields (in shade houses, of course!). I find it interesting that the plants can thrive in different Zones around the World. Did you notice that they like the Pentas particularly? They were also on the Lantana plant which has been banned from sale here in Australia, being poison to Cattle! You are very fortunate to have Butterfly Gardens to go to. Cheers. Margaret downunder.
