Missouri Botanical Garden – June 2023 (1)
/So much to see at the Missouri Botanical Garden…
The Climatron is full of lush tropical plantings. Intimate landscapes of ferns and bromeliads…
Flowers (including orchids) and seeds tucked into the greenery….
Cycads….
Flowers and stems different than we see in temperature parts of the world.
Out in the summer sunshine…cone flowers and sunflowers thrive.
Daylilies are blooming profusely.
There was a very odd plant in Linnean House. I took several views of it…and should have taken a picture of the tag too!
I found myself interested in objects where the light was not overly bright or overhead.
And there were some places/plants that became immediately special: a large puffball under a bald cypress that was growing before the garden was started, button bush (one of my favorite native plants), and a woodland area with a gurgling stream (artificial but made to look natural, I enjoyed a short rest on a bench).
I appreciated the Stumpery garden….learning a bit about the history too.
And a few more plants I enjoyed photographing….before we went into the restaurant for lunch (and air conditioning) before we headed home.
