The RHS ran a Facebook competition recently to win tickets to an RHS show next year.  There were some truly stunning entries.  The image above of a fritillary butterfly on echinacea is one of my favourites, the colours are so vibrant.

Third place was awarded to Gitte Hamann for this photo of a bee on astrantia major.  I love close up images of bees, when they are buzzing about the garden you can’t really appreciate the detail of their wings or see how furry they are.

You can see all the entries on the RHS Facebook page.
