The Villages Metro

Fred Funk Butterfly Garden, Lady Lake.
Very beautiful blossoms, I was able to see humming birds for my first time in person (too skidish for photos). Not many butterflies on my vist, and they were shy (and fast).
The gardens are open to the public for viewing any time. Church services are held Saturdays.
The garden is located at 231 Lake Griffin Road in Lady Lake, Florida.

Some stone pathways are currently under updating (not accessible with limited mobility).
