Butterflies and Flowers of Spring

This is the time of year when the cactus flowers start to bloom. One of our favorite places is the Desert Botanical Gardens. As soon as we see cactus blooming around the city, we head off to the Gardens to see the real display of cactus from all around the American continents. Cactus are found only in North and South America, by the way.


These are Cholla, the worst stickers in the cactus world, but some of the most beautiful flowers


The DBG also has a butterfly exhibit. They have a huge cage with screening to keep in the butterflies with a lot of flowers.



It is a remarkable experience and one to look forward to each year.
