Butterflies: October 25th, 1997


The dedicated work of expert gardeners and horticulturists ensures that there are always plenty of plants in bloom at the Desert Botanical Garden. Most any season of the year butterflies of several kinds can be easily observed therefore. Most of the desert bird species are also abundant and easy to observe. So bring your binoculars to this beautiful garden. If you have close-focusing binoculars you should also have a great time observing lizards, mammals and an occasional snake.
