Self Contained, Butterfly Magic in Tucson
March 19, 2014
— botany, butterfly magic, kids, Tucson Botanical Gardens
Each year the Tucson Botanical Gardens hosts an orchid, butterfly, and now tropical frog display for the public. It is popular with families and with me. I enjoy the humid tropical mist on my skin and the fun of watching the butterflies and people. Yesterday there was a lot of activity.
