This section is of shots from the greenhouse. Many tropicals, and a surprising number of begonia plants. I had no idea there were so many differing types.
There are many gorgeous tropical flowers, most of which I had never seen before.
It’s a jungle in here
Gorgeous yellow flowers
My wife and kids beside the yellow flower. This gives a better perspective about size.
neat stuff
Aren’t these amazing flowers?
There is something growing in the centre of this large flower.
So delicate some flowers are while others are quite coarse.
Nice taro leaves
Oh so very delicate, and such a wonderful colour
Some familiar plants here.
Aren’t these spectacular?
And so are these equally spectacular.
No wonder the jungles are so appealing to wild life.
Begonias
Nice rich colours
Desert plants – there is an entire greenhouse of cactus
Tropical chinese plantings
Monster bananas
I don’t know what these are, but they are beautiful
Nice fuzzy leaves on them, also.

I love this tone of yellow
Nice yellow again, but in a very familiar plant for most of us…. begonia
Jasmine
Elephant ears, nice waxy feel to them
They can get quite large. I had one in my garden that measured 37 inches
crape myrtle

Wow!
Thanks for the tour. I don’t do greenhouses, since the combination of heat and humidity triggers truly nasty asthma attacks, but it was really nice to get a “second-hand” tour, so to speak.

I understand about the asthma attacks. They can be quite musty. These ones were surprisingly not. They had a cross draft with the windows being open, and they were really very nice to be in.
