It's been too long since I did a photo of the day so I'm going to drop 4 at once. These are all plants inside our Butterfly Pavilion which is opening on March 4th.
We hope to have nearly 1000 native Florida butterflies on display that day.

Here is my buddy Andy. Andy is a Florida Bobcat who came to us as a baby when his mother was killed in a car accident. He was bottle fed as an infant and because he is human imprinted is unreleasable. He is one of our animal ambassadors and helps us educate guests about Florida wildlife and the problems caused by habitat loss. Andy loves people and purrs loudly whenever I visit him. #bobcat
