When we visited Wisley on Tuesday there was the added bonus ( we weren't aware of before getting there), and that was, that there were about 1000 tropical butterflies in the Glasshouse. This is the first time they have done this and it started on 18th January and they will be there until 22nd of February 2009. It was hard to spot most of them as they blended in with the plants and flowers, but I did take a few, as you can see.
