My local conservatory has a "Flights of Fancy" program that started 20 years ago. When covid hit the shut it down.

But 2 years ago re-started it as a "visitor" only exhibit versus a photographer's only morning even.
Love butterflies!
DanDan, the Urquhart Butterfly Garden is not a Conservatory but a regular open air garden with many flower beds, well maintained by volunteers and City of Dundas gardening personnel.

Thanks!

A nice short series in your post on butterflies. Here in Ontario I am privileged to have the Prof Urquhart Butterfly Garden about 45 minutes away from my house.

Very nice, esp that third one.
Thanks "viper"!
It is 2 different species mating? Not sure how that works or what the "result" will look like.
