Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2006
A view of the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival Every Spring, Walt Disney World becomes even more colorful at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. The park blossoms with themed gardens and flowers and delightful topiaries.

The vast variety of different flowers are beautiful to see. And the various Disney-themed topiaries are always among our favorite sights.

Topiaries and the stamps that inspired them This year, there were several topiaries inspired by the newest Disney stamps released by the United States Postal Service. The official "first day of release" ceremonies for the stamps were held at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.

In addition to the flower gardens, we also visited a butterfly garden. Everywhere we looked - above us, on the flowers, in the air - beautiful butterflies fluttered about.

Butterflies weren't the only animals we saw that day. Spring had definitely sprung, and we kept encountering baby animals throughout the park. We saw little baby bird Bunny at Epcot heads peeping out of birdhouses, their little beaks chirping eagerly as their mothers flew in and out with food for them. Mama ducks led their ducklings across the ponds. And we even saw fluffy baby bunnies hopping across the grass.
