From March 1 to April 30, Frederick Meijer Garden in Grand Rapids is hosting Butterflies are Blooming featuring 6000 tropical butterflies from Asia and South and Central America flying amongst the plants. Can you say “Cabin Fever Cure”??

Full disclosure: Aricee took my all time favorite butterfly photo. Be sure to view the above photo large.
