Like this botanical print Passion Flowers and Butterflies by artist Elizabeth Golz Rush.
Or a blue and white butterfly motif garden stool for inside or out.
Chrysalis: Maria Sibylla Merian and the Secrets of Metamorphosis by Kim Todd tells the story of a 17th century female botanical artist and naturalist.
Pretty engraved butterfly note cards
Botanical Art with Scientific Illustrations by Sarah Jane Humphrey is a beautiful book that is both informative and instructive if you want to try your hand at botanical illustration.
Exotic Butterfly: A fun and lively fabric from Schumacher.
A butterfly house or seeds for a butterfly wildflower garden
Decoupage artist John Derian (whose work I just love) has a whole section on his website under themes for butterflies. And don’t forget the butterfly clutch to finish the look!
