Day 2, we checked out the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. Beautiful and well managed, this 4 acre gardens was filled to the brim with numerous varieties of plants, even had some butterfly garden spaces that were very popular with the insect life 💚 even had a 30ft gourd tunnel!

A variety of fuchsia colored clover flowers and some sort of purple flowers that grew in long, narrow clusters.
A trellis tunnel well populated with varieties of gourds hanging from every point of the ceiling and walls. Some of the gourds were easily 2ft long and more round than our heads lol.
Close up photo of some sort of ground coverage plant with tear-shaped leaves in pale, pastel, purples and greens.
Either monarch butterflies, or their copycat cousins, fluttering around the lantanas in the butterfly garden.

More from the botanical gardens, which also had a tropical conservatory building.

A smaller varietal of barrel cacti with dusty-green flesh and thicker, reddish-orange spines. It's flowering with two, magenta-colored blooms.
An underside view of a fruiting bundle on a perfume plant (I think it was called a chinese perfume plant? I cant quite remember). The fruit are sized and shaped similar to grapes, but they hang in clusters along long, stranded stems. Their colors vary from deep purple, to orange, red, and bright yellow-green.
Sadly dont remember seeing the placard for this plant, but it was a hanging vine plant that terminated in flower clusters in a fan shape. The flowers themselves were a layered pale pink and an almost hot pink-red, their petals almost paper-like in texture.
The velvety texture on this large, broad leaf shows off all the veins running through it. The leaf itself is made up of a multitude of greens: light pale for the major veins, and rich to vibrantly deep jades for the main face of it. May be some varietal of monstera, unsure as I didnt see the placard.
