Quite lovely!
It's got a north section, a south section, each different, and separated by a wide walkway with benches, and flowering trees (cherry?), and bushes on either side.

Don't think I've ever seen that particular butterfly, and I've been to the big Bronx Zoo that has a 🥰 Butterfly House up from ?May through September.

If you've never been to one, go! The butterflies will sometimes land on you particularly if you're wearing certain solid color tops- yellow, orange, red, pink, white, purple. Flower colors. They taste through their feet, so i think the color first attracts them. I guess they get confused bc no nectar!

Delightful experience!
I've seen family's w teens who might be a bit sullen being dragged along with their younger siblings - enjoy the BH!
