Self Contained, Butterfly Magic in Tucson
March 19, 2014
— 4 Comments
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. Kids love to use the magnifying glass, no matter why they see in it. It is a small lesson in science, botany, biology, and ecology, adapted for all ages. Who doesn’t like butterflies?

In the dark of winter I love to visit the tropics by going to the Butterfly Magic show at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. We are fortunate to have such a special nature spot with a controlled environment. Kids and grown ups are all delighted by a short stay in a world of unusual beauty. It is also fun to be hot and steamy in a greenhouse when the wind is blowing cold outside.

A trip to the botanical garden refreshes the spirit and gives a natural buzz to the day. I love to visit the butterfly house to see what they are doing. Today the orchids made me very happy.
