Famous for its beautiful lotus flowers in the summer, this park is a beautiful place, but also a real center for nature. The park has many ponds filled with native and exotic flowers, a boardwalk, a marsh, and more. Now is a really good time to go.

Many moths and butterflies visit the flowers throughout the spring and summer. Here are some I have
