COOLED CONSERVATORIES

Rat Tail Cactus
It was quite a while since I visited the conservatories.

The Flower Dome has interesting plants such as Rat Tail Cactus and Grevillea while the Cloud Forest has mostly interesting orchid species and a number of interesting gesneriads.

CLOUD FOREST - SECRET GARDEN

This was the last part of the visit.

The 3D-model projector presentation on the sustainable development of the gardens and conservatories and the +5 degrees are a must see part of the Cloud Forest before entering the Secret Garden where visitors get to see giant small sculptures and plants such as the Episcia and Kohleria cultivars before reaching the exit.

BEAUTIFUL PLANTS

These are some uncommon beautiful breathtaking plants that cannot be found in our gardens. They mostly prefer cooler environments and it would so great to see them to masses.

Most are uncommon to me but let's start with the variegated Hostas. There are beautiful Begonias, annuals, Pelargoniums, Aeomiums, succulents, Streptocarpellas, Streptocarpus, Kohleria, etc.

KOHLERIA CULTIVAR

This is a very attractive Kohleria cultivar that I bought at the Garden Bazaar previously and it has reliably produced lots of flowers for me. 


I was so lazy and only managed to propagate it a few days ago. When the cutting grows bigger, I will grow one in my office. I am sure it would wow my colleagues with its numerous pink flowers.
