Tuesday morning is my favorite time to visit the butterfly exhibit and see what's new.  Kay and Linda, the volunteers who tend the plants before the exhibit opens are busy at work and always helpful and enthusiastic about pointing out butterflies and sharing plant information.  I have learned so much about the butterflies and the plants they love.  I've been donating many of my butterfly images to the Garden for use in the exhibit and for the note cards sold online.  Check out the note cards and invitations on the CBG website and order a set (here)! You can custom pick from many different images.

Here a few of the butterflies from my last couple of visits.
