The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House********************************************
Yesterday, we took advantage of a perfect spring day, by visiting Faust Park and the Butterfly House.A wedding was scheduled for later in the day. You can see tents in the background of the photo to the right. We saw a few guests, but left before the arrival of the bride.
As we walked through the house, what appeared to be thousands of butterflies flew around us. Lighting here and there on the beautiful plants. One lit on my hair for a moment. We always enjoy our visits to the Butterfly House. It's somewhat like walking through the Rainforest, very warm and humid. The beautiful surroundings and gorgeous butterflies hold all of our attention.
The mission of the Butterfly House, a division of the Missouri Botanical Garden, is to foster increased awareness and better understanding of our natural world.
