Gaura “Whirling Butterflies”–#AtoZChallenge

Gaura
Here is my “G” flower, Gaura, called Whirling Butterflies because the flowers flutter in the breeze like butterflies.  It’s also called Wind Flowers.  I’m not really familiar with them, but they’re listed as a common flower starting with G.  And they look lovely.  They are tiny flowers, like forget-me-nots from yesterday. This is a close-up look.  They bloom from May to August in a bush and come in colors from white to pink.  I might try to plant some this year–we’ll see.
Here’s a photo of them in a garden bed from here

It does look like a crowd of butterflies!
