Alaska Botanical Garden - Anchorage

Our next stop was Alaska Botanical Gardens in Anchorage.  We always try to visit as many botanical gardens as we are able when we are traveling.  Here are some of the pictures.  One of the cool parts about visiting here today was seeing 2 species of butterflies - Tiger Swallowtail and Arctic White who were nectaring on daffodils that were just opened and a species of white that was nectaring on flowers.  Even though the gardens is young they have gotten off to a good start.  We were surprised today to hear that their annual fund raiser is tonight which includes an auction so there was lots of art being set up for the auction.
