Daphne odora (winter daphne) is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is native to China. It is sometimes called Spurge olive, but this name is shared by other plants. It is an evergreen shrub with fragrant, fleshy, pale-pink, tubular flowers. D. odora 'Aureomarginata' has yellow edged leaves, and is hardier and more suitable to cultivation. Shallow depth of field with focus placed over the nearest flower heads.

$Brenthis daphne, the marbled fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nBrenthis daphne has a wingspan of 30–44 millimeters. Wings are rather rounded, the basic color of the upper side of the forewings is bright orange, with an incomplete black marginal band. The underside of the hindwings have a yellowish postdiscal band and the marginal area is completely suffused with purple, with a marble effect (hence the common name). The quadrangular patch on the underside hindwing is partially shaded orange pink to outer side. The chrysalis has two dorsal rows of thorns with bright spots and a bright metallic shine.\nThis species is very similar to the lesser marbled fritillary (Brenthis ino), but the latter is slightly smaller and the coloration of said patch is completely yellow.\nBiology:\nThe butterfly flies from late May to early August depending on the location. The eggs are laid separately in July on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae feed on brambles (Rubus fruticosus), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Rubus caesius, Rubus sachalinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis and Filipendula species, while adults usually feed on nectar from brambles, thistles and other flowers. This species is univoltine. It overwinters at the caterpillar stage in the egg shell. \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis widespread species is present in the Palearctic ecozone from the southern parts of the continental Europe (northern Spain, southern France, Germany, Italy and eastwards to Slovakia and Greece), up to Caucasus, western Siberia. It prefers warm and sunny forest edges, woodland and bushy areas where the host plants grow, at an elevation of 75–1,750 meters above sea level (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

Plebejus argus (the old name) is a fairly scarce resident. The species suffered a decline in the mid-20th century; since the early 1960s, its area of distribution has halved. the Dutch Monitoring Scheme shows a moderate decline in numbers since 1990. The species is classified as 'susceptible' on the 2006 Red List.Brown Argus Butterfly occurs on nutrient-poor grasslands on dry, sandy soils in an open landscape, as in the (coastal) dunes and along dykes, roads and railways tracks.Several species of Geraniaceae are used as larval food plant.The species flies in two generations from early May until early September, and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.This Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.

$Achillea millefolium, commonly known as White Yarrow or Common Yarrow, is a graceful perennial flower that produces an abundance of huge, flat clusters, packed with creamy-white flowers. They are born on tall stems atop an aromatic, green, fern-like foliage. Both flowers and foliage are attractive and long lasting, making White Yarrow a wonderful garden plant and a great choice for prairie or meadow plantings.\nIt is a rhizomatous, spreading, upright to mat-forming. Cultivars extend the range of flower colors to include pink, red, cream, yellow and bicolor pastels.$
