1) Did you know that roses come in rainbow? Sounds made up, but you totally just found one - woah!
6) Aw, man... you just keep running into butterflies you've already seen. You're about ready to leave when you feel something land on your shoulder. Oh! It's a Tailed Jay Butterfly!
22) What's the difference in a peach and an orange rose? You're not sure just yet, but you don't see either of them this go-around so you'll keep wondering!
5) You thumb over your list... blue roses are supposed to mean attaining the impossible. It sure feels impossible to find them! You're about to give up when you spot one! Score!
4) Even easier to spot than most flowers amongst the green is the bright pink plumeria flower, and you've just found one!
15) The Green Banded Swallowtail is a real sight to behold, and you're glad you got to see one!
23) The humidity of the Courtyard gets to be too much, and you leave early.
4) Even easier to spot than most flowers amongst the green is the bright pink plumeria flower, and you've just found one!
11) You're not entirely sure why they named a mostly black and white butterfly the Lime Swallowtail, but you sure have found it!
10) You can tell the stray leaf you've found is a calathea by shape - but which kind? The bright pink gives it away - a rosy calathea! It seems to have rips and tears of large teeth in it. What happened here?
6) Something about a white rose is so lovely and calming. You take a minute to enjoy the sight.
11) Pink roses seem, quite frankly, milquetoast compared to all of the cool roses you've been seeing in the Rose Garden. Still, you mark it off your list!
3) You wander and feel your breath catch in your throat. You swear you can see a tiger in the foliage. Suddenly it flutters up and away - thank goodness, just an Orange Banded Butterfly!

19) A butterfly flies past your head, almost clipping you. Your reflexes help you spot and identify the offending insect - a Red Admiral Butterfly!
13) On the way out of the Tropics House, you notice something you have't before - a beautiful Pearl and Jade Pothos vine snaking along the exit.
2) The most dramatic of all roses, the black rose, stands tall in the middle of a bunch of white ones. Beautiful!
5) You start to lose hope that you'll find a butterfly this visit, until...! Wow, what a stunning sight - a Blue Morpho Butterfly!
25) You realise about mid-walk that your feet are killing you! You decide to cut today's trip short and go on home.
4) You take a minute to read about the yellow roses on display. Apparently they mean friendship, but in Victorian times meant jealousy!

17) You almost miss the Julia Butterfly sitting on a nearby tree. Good thing you've got a keen eye!
6) You worry that you've found another monstera, but surprise! It's more than one shade of green - in fact, is it partially white? That's a variegated monstera for you!
10) Purple's always been a symbol of royalty, and this rose is no exception! You feel regal just looking at it. Maybe you should name your next Collie something royalty themed.
13) You decide to take a seat on a bench and just enjoy the atmosphere. You start to doze off to the soft breeze, but right before you shut your eyes you realise you're sitting next to a rose you haven't recorded yet! A cream rose!
25) You're enjoying your walk through the Courtyard so much, you don't even mind that you don't find any butterflies!
8) There's a LOT of foliage to behold in the Tropics House. In fact, there's so many that you almost look over your newest discovery. A little white and green striped leaf leans towards you - no doubt a Calathea Medallion!
