Purple Coneflower with Venetian Glass Butterfly
The purple cornflower is a favourite among Canadian gardeners not only for its easy maintenance, but its ability to attract gorgeous butterflies like the eastern tailed blue. This tiny butterfly, one of Canada's smallest and loveliest, can be found across southeastern Canada from New Brunswick to southeastern Saskatchewan. This coin is a fantastic collector's item as well as a unique and beautiful gift to commemorate a birthday, holiday, a graduation, the coming of spring or any other occasion
