Back in April... yes I'm a little behind... Mike and I had a three day weekend. We were going to go out of town but we had to stick around and sell the old truck so we opted for a Staycation! I went to the public library and got a cultural pass to the Desert Botanical Garden. The library has cultural passes for a lot of places to visit around town... museums, the zoo etc. The cultural pass allows you to get in FREE! The only catch is getting to the library early enough to snatch one before they are all gone!
I had not been to the Garden in years and this was the time of year for their Butterfly exhibit which I wanted to see.
WARNING... this post has a LOT of pictures... but just be glad I didn't post ALL the ones I took.. Ha! But if ya like desert plants then enjoy....
EVERYTHING was in bloom!!! It was the perfect time to go.
I LOVE grasses... LOVE them.... I am trying to grow some at my house!
Little critters were everywhere... If I was a critter this is where I would want to live!
FINALLY... we found the butterfly enhibit!
I had no idea that butterflys like oranges!
I absolutely LOVED the butterfly exhibit... not so sure if Mike shared my excitement! The workers told us how they got the butterflys and how long they live etc... very cool!
Now we are off walking down another path!
Yes... we actually read some of the informational signs... isn't that why they are there!??!
Ha!... this looks like a lazy cactus!
Hummingbird!
I LOVE succulents! We try to grow some at home and the birds also love them!
Awwwww..... our day is coming to an end! I loved my day at the desert!
Day one of our staycation was great... but mostly because I spent it with my best buddy! Thanks Mike!
