Blooms & Brews - Aroids: Plants of the Alum Family
For this Blooms & Brews event, join us at the Exploration Center as Rob Taylor, Lead Horticulturist of the Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium, explores Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family. Featuring favorites like philodendrons, monsteras, and peace lilies, this diverse plant family dominates the ornamental foliage market.
Registration includes a guided walk-through of the Missoula Butterfly House, discovering how a thoughtfully curated selection of aroids helps create the lush, immersive botanical environment that supports a living insect exhibit. Native to tropical rainforests—the largest terrestrial plant ecosystem on Earth—many of today’s most popular houseplants originated in these environments. Aroids have evolved to thrive indoors and in conservatories, prized for their resilience, adaptability, and striking visual appeal.
