A beautiful garden under glass
Hello all ! It is Joseph your GPOD editor program here , fill you along on a recent trip I took toGarfield Park Conservatoryin Chicago . I ’d not been there before and was n’t certain what to expect . The stats on the website are impressive : 4.5 acres under chicken feed , over a hundred years honest-to-god , an exceptional collection of rare plant life . The actual experience blow me aside ! I ’ve visitedconservatories in lots of cities , but this was one of the best . Not only does it turn back beautiful plant , but they are arranged into a wonderful indoor landscape . I also love that admission is spare and that the conservatory is well accessible by train , so everyone in the city can enjoy the outer space . And give how prospicient and cold Chicago wintertime are , having a space like this to visit has got to be almost essential .
The hothouse is disunite up into a multifariousness of unlike rooms , often with a specific theme . This is the aroid way , give to this one family of works . It is awesome to see the incredible diverseness within this one group .
A beautiful resident physician of the aroid house isPhilodendron‘Moonlight ’ .
The wry house is very cool , full of everything adapt todeserthabitats .
I ’ve witness crestedeuphorbia(Euphorbialacteacristata‘Variegata ’ ) as a houseplant many meter , but I never realized it could get so huge .
Maybe my favored part was thefernroom — no flowers , just profuse , beautifully diverse foliage .
Every surface of the fern way is covered with rich green .
The water in the fern room had cloud of koi .
Maybe my favorite fern in the fern way was paper staghorn fern ( Patycerium×elemaria ) .
What an incredible blossom ear on this bromeliad ( Neoregeliasp . ) !
