We have left the dry room and are in the temperate room.
At one point the conservatory had a large collection of pitcher plants. This is the only one I saw on the 30th, but we didn't go on the raised walkways along the length of the building, so maybe there are more up there.
I believe this is the flower/fruiting body of this pitcher plant, but I'm not sure....
They've got some big fish. This one is more frilly than I expect these big goldfish to be.
I tried really hard to eliminate reflection of the sky in the previous image, but I think I prefer this next image. It's harder to see the fish, but I kind of like all the reflections. Sort of dreamy and abstract.........
We've seen a bunch of big plants. These are the smallest ones I took pics of on the 30th. The fruiting bodies of the moss can't be more than about 2" tall.
Interesting leaves, interesting flowers....
The conservatory has a really nice collection of bromeliads. Looking up at one of them.
Bark on a tree.
Gardenia.
I just happened to look at this, right after the gardenia. Don't they look similar?
Not sure why I'm so taken by the fallen flower, above, but I am.
Look what the plants in the previous are part of!
The conservatory has a really nice collection of bonsai.
Backlit leaf.
Textures. If I remember correctly, the one at right is a mango tree.
Palm leaves.
Trunk textures.
Fig.
They had a kaleidoscope pointed at a coleus. Cool............
Berries.
These were hanging down from a vine overhead.
I wonder who polinates this....
Or this....
The orange caught my eye.
But it's the leaves that I really looked at, when I got this "on the big screen."
Someone else's leaf.
More leaves, big and small.
Here's where the small ones came from.
