Jardin Maria Clara Lobregat in Pasonanca

Flower pictures and exotic butterfly at Jardin Maria Clara L. Lobregat in Pasonanca Park, Zamboanga City where flowers are in bloom and a butterfly farm is also located

the sign in front of the garden
the gumamela, or hibiscus, incidentally, is the national flower of Malaysia
a lantana, common in exotic butterfly gardens as source of nectar

a black butterfly called Common Mormon (not sure though, have to confirm with local butterfly watching enthusiasts)

Note: Entrance fee to park and the butterfly garden: Free!

All photos taken using Canon 300D either with kit lens or 50mm...

    Great macro pictures - breath taking - very exotic flowers for a Norwegian!

    I remember I saw some like them when I was in Malaysia long time ago :-)

    That butterfly looks pretty spectacular. We don't have any like that over here in little old Belgium, but I saw some nice ones in the south of France some years ago.

    wow. zamboanga is one of my dream destinations but there are lots of negativity surrounding the place. i am surely glad that you have proven that these are mere urban legends and a safe place to visit. thanx for sharing.

    lawstude, it's safe in Zamboanga City, even felt safer there than some parts of Manila. No "evil" look from people while I was walking with my DSLR. Safety and security is your concern only outside the city.

    it's a paro-paro(butterfly) not a tutubi(dragonfly).zamboanga city is safe provided you're in the city area and with someone who's a local.it's really nice place to live.it's cheaper than manila yet just as interesting. the food is exquisite...this is from a zamboanguena expat.mi corazon ta allegra na orgullo de mindanao...
