In a Pacific Rainforest
Entering a lush tropical rain forest, the air heavy with mist, the stream sparkles before me. It runs in a rivulet before becoming lost in the tangle of orchids, glossy green leaves, and the towering overhang of Pacific rainforest trees. Directly ahead, a stairway leads into the path that curves away from view, so that I notice the richly colored blooms that screen it and stop to gaze at their perfect forms. Following the turn, a fantastical sight of twisting turrets in yellow, streaked with...
To enjoy more of these delicate creatures ...find out about them
Newly emerged butterflies are released into the Pacific Island Water Garden at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and Conservatory staff member will provide a short talk; this is a great opportunity to find out more facts than you might otherwise pick up from the exhibit itself. Many species are tropical butterflies,from South America, Africa and the Caribbean, that most of us would not get a chance to see flying through the air. Some I remember seeing are thePaperkite, the Morpho, Orange Julia, and Glasswing...

Where the butterfly exhibition takes place each year
As one of the largest exhibits in the Franklin Park Conservatory, located in Columbus Ohio, the Pacific Island Water Garden is packed with tropical plants. Franklin Park Conservatory opened Blooms & Butterflies in 1994; it was the first conservatory in the nation to showcase a seasonal butterfly exhibition. Described as follows,"the Pacific Island biome represents the diverse landscapes found on a volcanically formed island, dotted with tall, canopy covering trees, and flowering plants", this...
While the Butterfly exhibit is situated within the Pacific Tropical garden, there are other climate zone gardens in the conservatory building as well as a park outside. A fun giftshop and cafe are also a part of the many parts of this botanical garden. It is a beautiful venue for weddings, as my daughter's wedding proved. We have pictures of what I...
One of the fascinating events in the Butterfly exhibition is watching the full grown butterflies emerging from their chrysalis cocoons. Every day they emerge, dry their wings, and become ready to fly within the enclosure of the biodome of the cloud forest.
Glass Artist Featured in the Gardens
A little about the artist: Dale Chihuly was introduced to glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. He went to work at the Venini glass factory in Venice, later in his career he was honored with a solo exhibition, 'Dale Chihuly objets de verre', at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Palais du Louvre, in Paris. Besides his magnificent contribution to the world of art glass, he has worked as a teacher and mentor to many students of the art. He has also worked as a perfor...
There are permanent installations of Dale Chihuly's glass art, but in 2010 there was a festival of colorful additions. The creative force of the staff at the Conservatory are always bringing something new and fresh for visitors. There are live glassblowing demonstrations at the Hot Shop. Although the Live Butterfly Exhibit,Blooms & Butterflies, las...

Blooms & Butterflies is a favorite year after year because of its ability to transport guests from Central Ohio to a tropical paradise filled with gorgeous butterflies and colorful flora. Blooms & Butterflies will be on display from February 26 through May 30, 2022.
A very valuable garden plant with showy purple-blue flowers in late summer when little else blooms, and attracts butterflies; may treat as a perennial and cut it back to the ground each spring as it regrows vigorously and blooms on new wood.
One of the top pollinator attractants for Northeast Ohio gardens and exhibits excellent deer resistance. Grow in sunny mixed perennial beds, and shrub borders.
