Circus Flora has become a touring show yet it performs annually in St. Louis, usually at the beginning of the month of June.
Performances include aerialists, equestrian artists, acrobats, and trained animals.
For many years, Circus Flora has featured many and various members of the renowned Flying Wallendas family.
Based upon its favorable reception, it was then founded as a permanent organization by Ivor David Balding, Sheila and Sam Jewell and Alexandre Sacha Pavlata.
The circus was named after Flora, the orphaned baby African elephant Balding had rescued two years earlier when ivory poachers in Africa killed her mother.
