Part 1: Magic Wings Conservatory and Gardens

Between Dan and I we shot over 300 photos and most were keepers!
I will do this in Parts as the Conservatory is spectacular
hope you enjoy it as much as we did!


Dan had asked last Nov what I wanted for my birthday
that was easy...
Magic Wings Conservatory and Gardens!

Such a fabulous place! This man, the creator had a vision of creating a
butterfly
conservatory and garden
and I am glad he did.

this was my second trip here...
the first was taking our friends and their son from Sweden
several years ago.




people enter thru the gift shop into a room that has
information and several cages with Madagascar Hissing bugs,
lizards etc


 Upon entering the huge glass tropical gardens the heat and humidity hit! we learned the first trip to wear light clothing, carry water and if you wear bright colored clothing the butterflies will land on you.














the tropical flowers are just beautiful and thousands upon thousands of butterfly's flitting around.
Little bird running around in the ground foliage. Colorful birds flying around,
if you look carefully you will find frogs and such in trees.
