“Gulf Fritillary Butterfly on a Passionflower” “I have loved studying and learning butterflies since I was very young, and I started butterfly gardening years ago because of how much I love them. One of the Gulf Fritillary’s favorite nectar flowers, (including its food source during the caterpillar stage) is the Passion-vine, so I really wanted to paint the Gulf Fritillary resting on the Passionflower.”
