Photographing wildlife successfully can be a tricky business, requiring plenty of high-end equipment, but there is one type of fauna that is much easier on the wallet and that comes in the form of butterflies. From March onwards, the 58 species of UK native butterflies begin to emerge for theyour camera. Some of the best flowers to plant include Buddleia, with its upright foliage offering purple and lilac colours; Echinops, which feature spiky, blue balls; Cornflowers with compact, bushy plants that host large, deep blue flowers; and not forgetting the orange hues of Helenium for later on in the season.
