San Antonio Botanical Garden

The 38 acre garden has a variety of habitats. I was struck by the cloud of butterflies in one area.

There is a desert area.

There is a lush area.

There are beautiful areas for strolling.

We saw exotic trees, like the silk floss tree, native to South America. Seed fibers are used for stuffing pillows and mattresses. 

We saw unusual flowers, like this golden shrimp plant from Peru.

One could spend days at this garden, to do all of the habitats justice.
