The 2021 exhibit Firewheel Folk: Oklahoma Wildflowers in Poetry celebrated wildflowers you can find in the state–and elsewhere–and the poetry that is inspired by flowers. The exhibit offered a variety of ways for people to learn about wildflowers and poetry, while having fun with the impromptu activities. A condensed version of this exhibit is still on display in the museum.

On July 17, 2021, ROMP held an Exhibit Celebration. The event was made possible with a grant from Oklahoma Humanities.
The opening celebration included a poetry reading with free copies of the exhibition booklet, a Chautauqua of Oklahoma Flowers telling us their history in the state, a talk/presentation by Oxley Nature Center naturalist Amy Morris Marcoux, and an awards ceremony and silent auction for the ROMP Rummage Flower Art Challenge.
