oh boy! time for pie!

my mom visited today and we went to see the butterflies at the Frederick Meijer Gardens. they imported 6000 chrysalises as well as a few atlas moth cocoons (the moths hadn't hatched yet) and we brought along our cameras for the ride : )

here's one very bright shot:


here's a slightly less colourful but much more intense flutterer:



I also found some weird tropical plants:


a strange, scaley plant:



some tiny red flowers:



some bright cactus flowers:


and even a pitcher plant!


all in all, it was a rather fun trip! I look forward to getting back into the shop again tomorrow, though. 
cheers!
