Texas Pollinator BioBlitz

From Oct. 11 – 27, find pollinators and nectar-producing plants during your visit to the Wildflower Center, take photos, and share with friends on iNaturalist.

About the Exhibition

In 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) to its endangered species list. Power the Migration is designed to foster a love of monarchs and encourage visitors to take action to support these creatures during migration season and beyond. You are invited to:

This exhibit will take place in our Little House alongside Legacy in Bloom, an exhibit created by our education team in honor of Lady Bird Johnson’s commitment to environmental conservation. Both exhibits are included with the cost of general admission.
