I must say the diversity of the plants and flowers there is amazing. I must also state that the following pictures were taken by my mother, who did a fabulous job. Thanks mom!
Cactus
Pitcher Plants
My beautiful butterflies.
Butterflies all around in the aviary.
How many butterflies can you find on this one plant?
Don't forget to look for the birds...here is a blue one, an orange one and a yellow one.
Jailed? Not really, they are enjoying the kids gate of the Children's Garden.
Butterfly dress-up.
Archeological dig.
When we did our sculpture study back in January we studied Marshall Fredrick. After reading, The Outdoor Museum: The Magic of Michigan's Marshall M. Fredericks, we fell in love with his work. We even visited his museum. So we were delighted to revisit so many of his sculptures at Meijer Garden.
Here is the Leaping Gazelle...
Which is actually a fountain.
More Marshall Fredrick.
Red-Tailed Hawk looking for lunch.
Davinci's Horse...we were highly anticipating this sculpture after reading Leonardo's Horse by Jean Fritz
I absolutely LOVE the expression of the grandfathers face.
What kind of bird do you think might hatch from these?
Strike a pose.
Hope you enjoyed our trip to Meijer Garden as much as we did.
