Boone Hall Plantation, Mt. Pleasant, SC #2 - Butterflies

I was so excited to go to Boone Hall Plantation because they had a butterfly pavilion. This was a good size screened in pavilion with a lot of pretty plants, garden ornaments and butterflies. If you read my last article on Boone Hall you know that Marianne R. and I visited the plantation and we spent the majority of our time taking pictures of these beauties. I think you'll enjoy them too.

How many butterflies can you find in the photo below?

There wasn't a large variety, but they were very pretty and plentiful. There was a nice variety of flowers also.

In another photo essay I'll show some of the flowers and garden ornaments that were in the butterfly pavilion.
