A beautful day for a visit to the Botanical Gardens
Looks like they've been here for ages!
Of course being early February there's not much in bloom
Some big bees buzzing around
and Grapefruit looks ready to pick
They also have an outdoor railroad village
Of course the best part is the Butterflies
Looks like one escaped!
Inside it's around 90 degrees, the 80 outside will feel cooler now.
What's prettier than a butterfly on an orchid?
They're everwhere
Add in a couple of colorful frogs
This poor guy's wings have seen better days
These guys have a beautiful irredescent blue on the tops of their wings but it's very hard to get a pic because when they land they close the wings and when they take off they're fast.
I thought I'd have to spend the night to get a picture but patience paid off.
In an adjacent building they raise butterflies. When they come out of the chrysalis they are gathered and taken to the main orchid and butterfly pavilion.
They have a fabulous cactus garden of course
