The Visitor's Center gazebo at the Viera Wetlands (formally known as Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera) was made available through a grant from the Florida Wildflower Foundation, Inc. The funds were derived through the sale of Florida state wildflower license plates, featuring the state wildflower, the
Coreopsis. The perimeter of the wetlands central lake has been seeded with Florida wildflower species. The gazebo itself is surrounded by a butterfly garden. On the sides of the gazebo are several posters of wildflowers and butterflies. You can jump to the
Viera Wetlands Wildflower website, or view the wildflower posters here. The posters are 1600 x 800 pixels. Click to enlarge.
