Butterfly Garden



This week, we went to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD to enjoy the Wings of Fancy Butterfly exhibit.  After walking through the free gardens, you come to the butterfly exhibit and pay an entrance fee. Upon entering this glass conservatory, you are immediately greeted with butterflies flying all around. If you are lucky enough, one might land on you. 

a random moth type insect, but I just love this flower and the beauty of it in a photograph

Monarch

Zebra Longwing

Orange Tiger

Zebra Swallowtail

Blue Morpho

...and there were many more.  The beauty of the butterflies did not disappoint. It was a great experience. Which butterfly is your favorite?

  1. I think I will vote for the blue morpho. I like blue and brown together. Have you thought about a book on butterflies. You could make millions!
