The first is a Sphinx or hummingbird moth a picture I took on the buddleia at work. The second is a perennial hibiscus in my garden called Holy Grail. The last two are pictures I took at a growers plant trial last week. They had many beautiful varieties and we order a lot from them to finish at our greenhouse. The weather finally broke here last night with a lot of rain. We’ve endured many weeks of humid temps between 30c and 34c with only brief periods of relief. Hopefully it will last awhile!

Really nice photos Spinner, thanks for sharing. What a privilege to see the hawk moth, they are so beautiful. x
That’s a name for them too? They are called so many different things!
There are a several different species of hawk moths, I only know the Elephant hawk moth, Privet hawk moth and Hummingbird hawk moth (the one in your photo looks like a Hummingbird to me because of its markings).
Absolutely gorgeous.
We also had loadsa rain yesterday but as yet still muggy in the Midlands.
Hi Spinner1916, Those are some lovely colourful pics. I had not heard of the hummingbird moth. (I'll have to do some reading later!) Thanks for those, really lovely.👍😊
