Hello Grzegorz,
at this point - your 700th picture, thank you for your numerous excellent contributions to TN.
The nice collage shows us that obviously Nymphalidae dominate Echinacea and have a close relationship to this plant. Each of the nine pictures is perfect for itself, the attractivity is potentially increased by the well composed collage.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Grzegorz,
700 pictures! Wow! Congratulations!
Excellent way of celebrating the occasion by posting a photographic tribute to a flower that many of us have had the joy to see how it attracts so many butterflies! Your collage makes a fine presentation of those butterflies that are attracted to it in the late summer in N. Europe.
Well done: look forward to seeing you celebrate your 1000th!
Thanks for all those 700 that you have posted so far,
Best wishes, Ivan

Congratulations...and an especially nice tribute to the creators of TN and your friends as well. Echinacea is the first herbal which I tried 225 or so years ago and have been trying all sorts from that point on. I appreciate the plant. Not only is it good in health but it is a fine perch for many creatures......Again...congratulations.

Hi Greg and millions of congratulations for this fantastic event!
700 photos...wow!!! Your portfolio here is worth more that a country's in some cases :))

But what i actually like the most is that even if you are one of the back-bone members of this site, you are still part of it's community (unlike others). You still take a lot of time in spending here - writing critiques, posting photos, contributing to the forum etc. And that's really cool! ;)

As for this lovely collage, what i can tell you from the start is that it inspired me to plant some of these splendid flowers and insect magnets in my garden :)
All your shots are amazing - very clear and with an amazing set of colors. The tones of the butterflies contrast so well with the ones of the flower creating such a pleasing image for the eye. Simply Beautiful!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Greggorgzz,
Congrats on making it to your 700th post.
I really hope old Echinacea sees this too.
This is a wonderful tribute to the old chap and I'm sure he'll be thrilled that you thought of him ;)
Those lovely purpur flowers are nice too.
Cheers
Steve

Congratulations on #700. I always enjoy your composite posts. The variety is quite special. I like the arrangement with the six shots with pink to the outside. It feels balanced. Echinacea is certainly a butterfly magnet.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing it.
