Butterfly Creek
By NICK ROBINSON
The planting in the tropical butterfly house at Butterfly Creek was refurbished to provide nectar flowers and host plants for butterflies as well, of course, as lots of flowers, foliage and scent interest for the visitors to this very popular attraction. New planting included many tropical species, planted in the ground within the heated house, as well as epiphytes attached to the gabion-clad structural pillars.
