Botanical Conservatory Part 2

When we stepped into the second room of the Conservatory, my mother spotted a small area of miniature orchids. If she wouldn’t of spotted them, I would have missed them entirely!

The miniature orchids were hanging in small sticks and stuffed into small pouches of moss. The orchids can grow just about anywhere in a humid temperature, even without dirt!

My Dad took this photo of Isabel and I in the Conservatory.

Isabel wanted her picture taken with this Rex Begonia plant, she said it was the prettiest.

The leaves of this Rex Begonia grow in a spiral!

This plants leaves grow into a heart shape and the flowers look like candies with chocolate on top!  Something you might eat during Valentines day coincidentally it is called a Hoya Kerrii “Sweetheart” or Valentine Hoya plant.

At the end of the path we had to turn around and walk back the way we came but we took a few minutes to look around and take a few photos.

My Mother took a picture with me in it. Great shot Mom!
