had another solo visit to The Leaf on Friday as I’d read that the flowering trees in the current display area were nearly finished blooming due to the heat…

I was surprised at how many people were there as I expected everyone to be outside enjoying the 17° C gorgeous weather…

as I entered the Tropical Biome I had to stop and wait a minute for the fog to clear from my glasses, lol…

happy to see the tiny flowers on two of the three cacao trees…

everything looked lush amidst the cooling mist that seems to be keeping the flora happy… quite surprised at how much the plants have grown… just last week it was easy to see all the way to the waterfall and now it is blocked again…

fun to watch one of the zoo keepers feeding the koi as I don’t often get to see that;-)…

the Mediterranean Biome had many flowers and the Babs Asper Display area held lots of plants, flowers, small trees, topiaries, and a truck filled with tulips…

the Butterfly Garden was busy with butterflies flitting about happily as they enjoyed the sunlight… the misting machines were also busy adding to the humidity and it felt very warm, lol…

so lucky to have this amazing place to visit;-)…
