Visited a tropical house.

Post by Gruntfuttock »

Spent Sunday morning at The Palms, which is a Greenhouse filled with all kinds of exotic plants and creatures. Here are a few of them. There was so much to see, but here is a small taster.

The entrance, there are plenty of koi in the pond, and so many differently coloured bougainvilleas.

I just love tropical hibiscus.

Aristolochia labiata. - Rooster Plant. The weirdest flower I've ever seen.

Inside the frog house, pretty, but pretty deadly.

Inside the spider house.
