pajarito, Great shots of good looking butterflies. Thanks for sharing them with us.

If you visit this area again, you should try to see the conservatory at Key West. It's much smaller than Butterfly World, but they do a terrific job there.

I mentioned our local garden club does a lot of GT's. We visit many local nurseries, local tropical gardens, each other's house and gardens and other places and things of interest to gardeners.

It's a small group of three ladies and myself. We met on Dave's when one of them asked for a cutting of a plant I posted here. Since then we have been getting together about every two weeks galloping around South Florida doing our thing.

If you visit this area again, please let us know and we can arrange a gt around the time you will be here. You can join us in one of our local visits.

If you are interested in this type of local thingie, we began posting our "adventures" in the following two links. After these two links, each GT has a link to the next gt.

These links have lots of pictures of each of us and our gardens and the places we visit.

I will leave you for this evening with a composit picture of butterflies you won't find at either the Key West Conservatory or Butterfly World. Pictured are Clerodendrum butterfly flower & Christa Butterfly plant. I hope you enjoy them. They are currently growing in my yard.

Thanks once again.
