Fleurish Winds 2018 presents:

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, she became a Butterfly.”

-Barbara Haines Howett

Fleurish Winds is proud to present their 2018 Program, “Year of the Butterfly”

A graceful model of perseverance, the butterfly epitomizes overcoming obstacles. After the toughest crossroads of its life, its most beautiful qualities are displayed.
