Butterflies!


So you’re someone who thinks, “Not everything is sunshine and butterflies,” but that doesn’t mean you don’t like those things. After all, butterflies are truly one of natures most gentle and glorious creatures. And sunshine is, well, sunshine.

Feasting on nectar from flowers, butterflies assist the bees in transporting pollen. Their graceful  flight is achieved using four wings of varying shape, color and size. And now, most cities offer some kind of exhibit featuring these wonderful insects. From conservatories to gardens, these habitats are filled with flowers and butterflies from all around the world.


















We decided to visit on such exhibit at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio. Due to overcast conditions, the butterflies in the greenhouse were mostly hiding in the leaves, protecting their delicate wings from potential rainfall. But we did manage to spot some wonderful and inspirational colors in and among the foliage.

It’s an experience you won’t regret if you can find one in a city near you. And if you smell good and wear the right colors, don’t be surprised if they mistake you for a flower!

  1. This merits a return trip. One when the weather is more sunny and clear. You'll see more and brighter colors then.

  2. This could be a design inspiration for your bedding as well. Floral prints look good on the bed.
