Butterflies go free at the Montreal Botanical Garden

February 26 - April 18, 2004

Don't stay out in the cold ! The Tropics await you in the Montreal Botanical Garden's Main Exhibition Greenhouse.

Butterflies, butterflies, butterflies ! They flit and float about in their beautiful blue, yellow, green, pink, orange, white, red and black wings. They just don't know it's winter outside. Aren't they lucky ? And you'll feel just like them when you go and visit the magnificent 1,500 morphos, that fabulous blue butterfly, and some of the fifty other southern species flitting around freely. If you're lucky, one of them might even land on your shoulder.

You'll also discover the tiny eggs and the extraordinary life changes they go through. Insectarium and Botanical Garden experts are available to answer any questions you may have on the subject.

Whatever the weather, it's time to grab some light and catch this metaMORPHOsing experience. You'll come back with the feeling of a most gentle summer's day.
