For my money the Norfolk Botanical Gardens has the best butterfly garden in the region. A stunning array of flowers and of course butterflies by the B’zillons this time of year. Twenty eight species were seen with the highlights being Palamedes Swallowtail, Cloudless Sulphur, Long-tailed Skipper, Brazilian Skipper, Dion Skipper and Ocola Skipper. The 175 acre gardens are a sight to behold and offer much more than just butterfly acommodations. Monarch tagging and education and face painting was being held.

Nice shots! Thanks for highlighting this locale with these two great butterflies. Impressive numbers of Ocola and Fiery Skippers too.
Hi Rick,
Thanks for the kind words and coming aboard!
