Although the Wings of Fancy exhibit at Brookside Gardens closes when it gets too hot (today and in recent days the butterfly greenhouse has been closing at about noon due to high heat and humidity for visitors and staff--the butterflies don't mind it at all), one can still tour the nearby gardens where butterflies flourish outdoors. This Great Spangled Fritillary enjoyed some time on a coneflower in the gardens on July 13, 2017. (Photo by Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)
