Butterfly finds a seat on a 'Peter Pan' flower in Menifee

This is the time of year that one can find the agapanthus plant, or African Lily, in bloom. Also known as the Peter Pan plant, these flowers bloom in violet and white and are seen around town in yards and public parkways. Thanks to Deana Olson for sending in this shot, taken by her son Matthew, of a butterfly atop one of the flowers.
