Date Night At Powell Gardens

     Daniel surprised me by taking me out to Powell Gardens, a 970-acre botanical garden in Kingsville, Missouri. It features 6,000 varieties of plants, with 225,000 plants in seasonal displays. They also do various special events. This was one. Festival Night: Latin America, Mexican folkloric dancers from Los Bailadores de Kansas City perform Jalisco style of dance and dances from other regions of Mexico. 

    We explored a bit and then met some new friends as we got our dinner and settled in for the show.  It was beautiful. I really enjoyed the experience.





Look close, all of these butterflies are paper, stapled to the trees!



These are real however:










I will have to return to see more of the gardens. It was magical.
