Fall in love with autumn at the Wildflower Center 🍂
Temperature, rainfall, genetics, and species type (among other factors) dictate the intensity of a leaf`s color each season. As autumn`s iconic orange and yellow leaves take center stage, we invite you to revisit our 2018 Wildflower magazine article, "Fetching Foliage," at the link in our bio. You`ll learn about the science behind these superstars of fall and how their pigment changes from green to purple or red. The author of this article, Daniel Murphy (@awkwardbotany), poetically describes autumn colors as "a celebration of what has passed and a sign of more to come." 🍁

Our Luminations experience centers around the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. Water is a tremendously important, finite resource in maintaining robust ecosystems. Thinking about our beloved native plants, we celebrate their resilience and low water use, which showcases a sustainable harmony that mirrors the delicate balance of our natural world. 💧
Go with the flow and enjoy the glow of Luminations with us this year! 🌊

Our Luminations experience centers around the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. When it comes to native landscaping, fire — wild or controlled — improves biodiversity, which benefits plants and wildlife. 🔥
Fire has its role as a renewing force in the natural environment. We hope this year’s Luminations warms your heart with memories for years to come. 🥰
