The watering every day was only meant for the ones in pots. Ones you plant in the ground should be watered until they're established. Even though they like it dryish, they won't survive drought until they've got their roots in the soil. If you plant them in autumn, they're usually okay with just an initial water or two but if you plant them in the summer they need watering until the cooler weather. The next year they should be fine. The ones known as English lavender are easier than the ones known as French lavender unless you've got the right conditions.
Very soon after getting my first dslr camera, I got lucky with this capture

I hesitated to upload this, because AFB's butterflies are so much better, but I'm experimenting with the kit lenses again.
I definitely couldn't get close enough with a prime as these little buggers are quite skittish...

Remember I was in a butterfly farm. I had 100's to shoot. I have a 105mm macro lens and flash set, and plenty of mine are poor.I hesitated to upload this, because AFB's butterflies are so much better, but I'm experimenting with the kit lenses again.

Seeing as the butterflies seem to be making a comeback, here's another from the zoo day a while back....
Very nice composition but could you maybe clone out that beige spot? stop it distracting? just a thought
I definitely agree with editing out that brown spot on the leaf. Other than that, it looks really nice and the colors on the butterfly are beautiful!
I am in. Here is anther one of my Butterfly shots. We bread these from caterpillars so they were used to our hands.

I like this one. Yes I know the wing is not in focus, but I preferred it that way.

Were they very hungry caterpillars?
Used to be a favourite book of my little one many years ago.

LOL. "Bread" from caterpillars. Did they "knead" you to care for them? (Sorry, it was just way too easy
)
