I have very limited knowledge on butterflies and flowers and I can name very few of them. But, I really admire their elegance and beauty. Flowers blooming with butterflies hovering above them are always a treat to the eyes. I love to photograph butterflies and flowers though I am not a pro-photographer, All the photos in this post are from my personal collections.There are also some photos of moths in this post.
N.B: I am not sure of the names of most flowers, moths, butterflies that are present in this post. I have numbers assigned to each photo, please help me to get the names. You can do this kind deed through a comment or an email if you are generous.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIt is heartening to see that there are at-least some people, other than those trained, interested in identifying butterflies and flowers. I tried to identify some flowers and butterflies but sadly I can't help you with any of the moths.
Butterflies:
85. Common Satyr
41. Indian Fritillary
71. Dark Blue Tiger feeding on Senecio (Generic name in its scientific name) flower
94. Indian Red Admirer
Flowers:
1. Vibernum sp. (Scientific name)
5. Rhododendron sp. (species not sure)
10. Rhododendron cinnabarinum (Scientific name)
18. Rhododendron arboreum (scientific name)
56, 63. Jacaranda mimosifolia (Scientific name and is commonly known as Blue Haze tree or Gulmohar)
80. Pieris formusa (Scientific name)
57. Callistemon sp. (Generic name): Common name: Bottle brush
49, 66, 69. Type of Primula (Generic name)
54. Type of Orchid
43, 12, 62: Typf of Iris sp.
9, 13, 68: Primula denticulata (Scientific name)
34. Type of Barleria sp. (Scientific name): I am not very sure about it. Real specimen of the plant with flower would help me identify it.
35. Tropaeolum majus (Scientific name): Commonly known as Nasturtium
72. Looks like Lonicera sp. (Scientific name): Commonly known as Honey Suckle.
73. Ipomea indica (commonly known and 4 0' clock plant)
I could not identify some plants, may be I haven't seen them or they aren't that clear. I didn't name some common plants, thinking that it might be known.
There may be some mistakes in the spelling of the scientific names. If you are interested, the Institute (www.uwice.gov.bt)where I am working has come up with "Pocket Guide Book" of Butterflies and Birds of Bhutan. If you can drop your mailing ID, I will be happy to mail (post) it to you.
Cheers.
Thanks Sangay.... It was so nice of you.

I am keeping the species name as sp. only as I am unable to identify these plants to its species level. I would suggest sir to get yourself registered in the Bhutan Biodiversity Portal and contribute there. We learn a lot through this portal. Web url to the portal → http://www.biodiversity.bt
