Dedicated to June Klonowski
We have a strange connection to the humble Butterfly in our family.
My Aunt (Dad's sister June) was a Lepidopterist. She collected butterflies.
She even discovered an unknown species and had it named after her -
Lepidoptera Junae...!
As a kid I remember her very precise, immaculately maintained wooden cabinet with butterfly specimens contained within it (I believe it was donated to a University after her death).
So it is not surprising that Mum has any number of drawings of butterflies. She loves them too - for their lightness, incredible fragility and beauty, iridescence and freedom to flit around the gardens from succulent flower to flower, artfully distributing their fragrances.
