I went to Reiman Gardens this weekend and enjoyed a lovely tour of the grounds. My favorite part was the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing, it was full of delicious flowers and many winged creatures who seemed to like flowers as much as I do.
Look at how this delicate creature enjoys the flower
This handsome devil flashed neon green in the sunlight
This butterfly reminded me of the mighty tiger, eek
While not as brightly colored as the rest, this little guy was still very charming
I kept startling the butterflies as I approached to make friends, they seemed to be very timid
However, once I explained that I would not steal their flowers they warmed up to me
This kind lady shared her secrets of finding the best flowers with me; sadly, I am sworn to secrecy
To end my visit, I sat quietly with this fellow, he seemed rather tired; I was not sure why, but the butterflies seemed to think that was normal for his kind, he must be a special kind of butterfly?
Meanderings Abound 
I love butterfly gardens! Glad you had a lovely time, tiny hippo!

Gorgeous! Great trip Tiny Hippo!
This is beautiful, where are these gardens?
They are a part of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
