Hi Jim,

Sonny Carter and Philippe+Alice have solved the mystery 
- they are Zinnias.

As to the butterfly, I just looked it up and found that 
tortoiseshell butterfies are found in Europe, 
throughout the temperate zones of Asia and in Japan, 
but are not found in the Americas, the Indian 
sub-continent, Australasia, or Africa.

Thanks for taking a look
Douglas
