SEEK OUT A RAINBOW OF DELIGHTS AT RHS GARDEN WISLEY E


scape into the warmth of the tropical zone in the Glasshouse at RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey, from 14 January to 5 March 2017 and feast your eyes on a thousand butterflies flying all around, feeding from fruits and sweet liquids at special feeding stations. They also feed on plants such as Caliandra, Lantana with their dainty clustered flowers, Justicia, Pavonia and Pachystachys.


These free-flying beauties will captivate visitors, as they glide around the cathedral-like building, which


will be home to over 50 different species of butterfly, 15 of which have never seen at Wisley before. These include blue waves, giant swallowtails and the tiger leafwing to name but a few. All the butterflies on display originate from tropical areas of the world like Philippines, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, Thailand and Africa.


Each species offers a visual treat to behold, like the Blue Wave from Central America, which comes from the Nymphalidae family.
