Exotic Plants




I went to the zoo to look at animals, bugs and birds, not plants however in the butterfly house there were some beautiful exotic pants to attract the butterflies and I guess to provide a food source for them. Many seemed to prefer feeding on the pieces of fruit left out for them or the sugary solutions in small dishes however the plants in the pictures above did attract a few hungry creatures.

The first shot is a detail from the stamen of the flower in the second image which seems to be a lily of some description.

The third picture is of a tiny yellow flower which was the food source for the butterfly in the fourth of yesterdays images and if you look at that picture it will give you some indication of how tiny this blossom really is.
