Blooming Butterflies is a seasonal, free-standing butterfly exhibit resembling a caterpillar. The Gothic arch style screened structure will encompass approximately 3,000 square feet of enclosed butterfly ‘garden’ space showcasing a colorful variety of tropical annual and perennial flowering nectar plants to sustain hundreds of butterflies. The interdependency of butterflies and plants will be illustrated through the easily observed feeding behavior of butterflies in which the plant gains a ‘pollination partner’.
