Climatron and Linnean House at Missouri Botanical Garden
/After the Orchid Show and Arid House, we headed to two other conservatory structures: Climatron and Linnean House at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The two high points for me in the Climatron were
A cycad with fruit (there was a sign that cautioned to not eat the fruit!) and
Two Chihuly glass pieces (these are ones that are owned by MBC….not a special exhibit).
Of course, there are always other things to see. This time I rushed a bit because my husband was looking for bench that wasn’t wet!
The walk to the Linnean House was our longest one outdoors…and it was a cold one.
My favorite image is of a palm….the way the stem connects to the pleated part of the leaf always fascinates me.
There was a Girl Scout troop in the building with an MBC staff member….a field trip; we saw some of the same people we’d seen at the Orchid Show there too. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the plants that were there.
