In the city of Oviedo, there is a small attraction called the Lukas Butterfly Encounter. The 4,000 Sq Ft encounter is part of a much bigger nursery that is well organized and probably the biggest in the central florida area. The Lukas family came to Oviedo in 1906 and the nursery was opened in 1973. The nursery is very well organized and they have a very large collection of plants. Check out their facebook page here for more photos and the embedded videos below.
