96 COE Oceanside Holly Blue Fusers Reserve

This particular glass is part of the Butterfly Collection. The second picture is the actual Holy Blue Butterfly that inspired this beautiful glass. The Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees, whereas other grassland blues usually stay near ground level. It is much the commonest blue found in parks and gardens where it congregates around Holly (in spring) and Ivy (in late summer).
