Botanical Conservatory

This morning Grandma, Grandpa, Isabel and I went to the WW Seymour Botanical Conservatory in the park.

When we arrived at the park the first thing Isabel said was she didn’t want to go inside. But after an hour inside she changed her mind and said she was glad she went.

When we walked in the door this “fuzzy” flower was hanging just to the right of the door. After looking on the internet, I’ve discovered that this “fuzzy” flower is a Chenille plant or Acalypha hispida.

Pink Begonia.

Orange Begonia.

Marbled Begonia.

Yellow with red rim Begonia.

Just down the path after we arrived. Isabel still looks like she doesn’t want to be here.

I took this picture for my dear friend Sarah. I love how it turned out!

Sunflowers and Agapanphus or Lily of the Nile plants.

We found a Koi pond and waterfall just off the main path.

The natives have BIG hair with Red Margined Dracaena.

Across from the pond and down the path Mom spotted this very large Split Leaf Philodendron plant. She has had one of these plants in her house for several years.

The bright red plant on the right is a Fancy Leaf Caladium.

Fortunately for my parents it hasn’t gotten this large! It was taller then my Mother! Further down the path we saw one that was even larger!

This tiny delicate flower is an orchid! So small and very pretty indeed! I have never seen a miniature orchid before.
