Favoritos de bernie-l

Location obscured because this is a rare plant. It was only 10cm tall and the flowers were not quite open. This appears to be the first record on iNat. https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/24ff0b5e-3824-4788-95f0-6ace52e474e6

Initially located flying and gliding over flowering buddleja along the northern pathway. Swallowtail was landing briefly before flying off. Observed in 'dispute' with Cabbage White butterflies. Swallowtail finally landed, settled and commenced feeding affording great extended views and photos to be taken. A stunning butterfly!
