Amid a spectacular showcase of tropical flowers and foliage, Blooms & Butterflies transforms the Conservatory into an enchanting butterfly haven. Enjoy a closer look at these fascinating creatures and enjoy hands-on activities in the Butterfly Discovery Center! Learn even more during guided Butterfly Releases at 1 and 3 p.m. daily.

Each weekend morning from 10 a.m. until noon, the "Adopt a Butterfly" program allows visitors to reserve an emerging butterfly, release it themselves and watch it take flight. Or, visitors can view Conservatory staff members releasing the butterflies twice each afternoon at 1 and 3 p.m.

Hundreds of butterflies from more than 100 species from around the world arrive at the Conservatory during the exhibition. Every day, dozens of them will reach maturity and come out from their chrysalides to be released in the Conservatory's Pacific Island Water Garden.
