Spirogyra is a delightful lush tropical garden containing many species of butterflies (and their host plants), including the beautiful electric blue Morpho.
I know next to nothing about butterflies so I'm fascinated to learn that most have a short lifespan of 4-8 weeks. I'm told it's not known exactly why but it could be that the sugars they consume are only enough to sustain their flight, and are not sufficient for them to regenerate tissue and reproduce more than once.
I'm the only one in the garden. It feels like a little piece of tranquil heaven.
