A butterfly on a BuddleiaButterfly...A pleasant word to a french ear:It seems a joke:"A fly as soft as butter !"
Buddle, a botanist, gave his surname to this fragrent shrub which attracts these beautiful insects .
Coloured or white, butterflies are
Described as
Ephemeral, they look like
Flowers of
Gardenia, petals of roses in japanese
HaÏku
But they are also the picture of soul...

A sa branche je la vois revenir:
C'est un papillon!"

Ah la chenille Qui voit passer l'automne!"

Mais son âme sur les chrysanthèmes
Folâtre"

No french here but papillon is great and better than sommerfugl as in Norwegian

Interesting that you chose "butterfly" because my favourite word in French is le papillon! All my students knew it was my favourite word and they would always say it for me. My first time over here and hope to return. You are welcome chez moi, aussi. :D
