Butterflies in bloom is a photographic essay on the relationship between butterflies and flowering ornamental plants. The photos were taken during the late summer and early fall of 2003 by Dr. Jerry Parsons and his able assistant Forrest Appleton. Photos can be viewed as a whole collection in the Butterfly Gallery, sorted by butterfly name, sorted by flower name, or as a special feature showing all the stages in insect metamorphosis.
