| It is
quite humid in here, even in winter. There are several
different themed areas. This one features tropical plants. |
 |
| There are places to sit and read, eat, get married and
even a place for an orchestra. |
 |
| Lots of water in here and many nice fountains. |
 |
| This couple asked me if I would take a
picture using their cell phone and the phone died. I
volunteered to take a few better quality photos and send them via
email. The wonders of technology. |
 |
| I tried to get a few pictures of the ceiling structure
but had troubles getting the exposure right. |
 |
| There was a pretty good sized cacti section.
I had troubles with exposure in this area as well. |
 |
| This one is a little better. It is pretty
strange to be looking at sometihng like these and then look to the
right and see sky and buildings. |
 |
| There were many arrangements like this.
People visit the gardens during the winter just to see some
color. |
 |
| A nice collection of White Sails. Mediocre
success with this as an indoors plant in Nevada. |
 |
| This is an example of plants, glass and structural
steel. |
 |
| Very colorful displays. |
 |
| Inside and outside. |
 |
| Looking out from the gardens. Tons of glass.
|
 |
| Walkways like this connect the gardens and buildings.
It is accessible by stairs in various locations, as well as
by elevators. |
 |
| The ponds have turtles and koi.
These Red Eared Sliders are doing quite well. |
 |
| I didn't see many orchids, strangely enough, so I took
a shot of these. |
 |
| There were also many carvings, statues, masks and the
like. I kind of liked this layout. |
 |
| This 'Bird of Spring' was located at one of the exits. |
 |
| Cameras are great for documentation, aren't they? |
