The Colour is Blue, Blue, Blue and very poisonous...

This is one of the most poisonous plants in Europe and its toxins can be adopted already via the skin. Famous for "Chinese" murders - but the colour is an incredible blue....

"Aconitum napellus" (Ranunculaceae)

At first glance they looked like butterflies.

Your pictures are truly wonderful.
