Imagine strolling
through the Tropical Gardens filled with
trees, plants flowers and
butterflies from around the world. Enjoy rare tropical plants with the
exotic aromas and flashes of color. Share the world of the butterfly as
they fly, sip nectar, court or simply bask in the sunlight, showing of
their glorious colours.They're
everywhere... hundreds of them , all sizes, shapes and colours ranging
from the Giant Atlas Moth (10" wing span) to the tiny Red Periot
Butterfly (1/2" wing span). As they fly from flower to flower, they
sometimes mistake people for flowers and alight on their shoulders, heads
and arms searching for nectar.
Also
outside is our Butterfly Garden. Here you will find, and see, all
the plants and shrubs you can grow to attract wild native butterflies
into your own garden and enjoy your own summer garden delight.
