Love that purple one, Ive. I, too visited a 'Butterfly World' which was a nice orchid greenhouse and garden up in Coombs, BC - in the wilds of Vancouver Island would you believe, there were orchids, a huge kiwi fruit vine with tons of fruit on it, plus tropical plants and butterflies! Ya just never know What you're going to see where. They do have great weather for Paphs, though. Didn't see any tags on these so no names . . .

This beautiful blue butterfly was at least 7in across, and the white one the same size. No less than three Zebra Longwings on the budlleia, I flutter around my garden every day trying to get ONE to stand still enough for a photo.

This lizard with fabulous protective coloring was my favorite though.
