Butterflies, Lilies and Flames in the Naples Botanical Garden

A Trio of Butterflies:

I think they look like flying zebras....

Water lily:
Purple Burst

Huge Lily pads:
Reflection

My idea of flames:
Fire

All from the Naples Botanical Gardens. The facility is a mere three years old, but chock full of beautiful plants, stunning world themed gardens - Brazilian, Asian, Caribbean and an interactive Children's garden (interactive for both child and adult).

From the Brazilian Garden - the centerpiece waterfall:

If you are visiting southwest Florida, the gardens are a great place to visit.
