Crazed by flowers...

A Haiku by Chora, who lived between 1719 and 1780, he was apparently friends with the great haiku poet Buson. Found in an anthology of Haiku, translated by Stephen Addiss, Fumiko Yamamoto, and Akira Yamamoto. The photo is of a Great Spangled Fritillary on Common Milkweed.

You couldn't ask for a better or more complimentary setting than this for this beautiful butterfly. Wonderful image! ~BV~

The fritillaries are gorgeous, but not so easy to recognise the variety.
This one is beautiful.

Might be more than the butterfly that is so crazed.
