A week ago I had some photos of the butterflies from the Desert Botanical Garden's spring butterfly exhibit. Today I have just some of the flowers that are planted inside the pavilion for the butterflies to feast on. One of my favorites is the Gazania. I love these radiant flowers with the stripes. They make me think of tigers when I see them.
There were also quite a lot of cape daisies inside the pavilion and the butterflies seemed to love them. I really like the colorful centers of these daisies. The purplish color makes a great contrast against the yellow petals.
This plant had a familiar look to me but they were marked with a name I had never heard before. They were labeled "Blueberry Taffy" a type of penstemon.
I'll end with another group of gazanias planted around a tree trunk. These flowers make me smile!

Spring is so beautiful, great photos, Sharon !
Beautiful flowers. Still too cold here for flowers.
Before I even clicked on the portal, I knew this post was yours. Your beautiful photos of flowers of all kinds is becoming your signature, isn't it? Delights me!
Two of my favorite colors - purple and yellow. Beautiful post and it will go a long way toward brightening things up for our friends who live in the northlands. What I like, too, is that your photos are tack sharp!
I love them all, Sharon! We have flakes of snow coming down right now so it is nice to be reminded that spring will come.
They're cheerful and warm to see. We remain cool here today.
Just beautiful!
Gorgeous flowers beautifully photographed. I enjoy seeing them, Sharon. Thank you!
Spring comes bringing color and charm.
Beautiful flowers, gorgeous shots.

Oh, yes, those ganzanias are wonderful.
Beautiful! I'm with you -- I like the gazanias, too. I've seen them in the medians on roadways in Florida.
