Before the warm bit here are some local images.

Now into the warm, viz the Tropical House in the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley, Surrey. The occasion is a visit during the society's annual butterfly fest.
You have to take pot luck on how many, and of which species, might be flying when you visit. On my visit I found a limited number of species and the predominant butterfly was the Owl (caligo martia).
... and some of the flora in the Tropical House:
Before leaving I visited the alpine collections.
