The ever-popular spring butterfly exhibit returns on March 12, 2005 in the Garden’s Marshall Butterfly Pavilion. Children of all ages enjoy walking among hundreds of butterflies as they flutter and roost about their heads. And at the emergence chamber visitor’s watch in fascination as butterflies emerge from colorful chrysalides into magical adult butterflies.
All of the butterflies in the exhibit are from North America. Queens, Julias, Swallowtails, and everyone’s favorite, the Malachite, are just a few of the species you will see sipping nectar from columbines or flitting among penstemons and daisies. Friendly volunteer “flight crews” are on hand to answer visitor questions and share information about the butterflies and plants.
