House of Plants, Part One: The Palms

Now back to something warm and green...

The first thing that you notice when you enter the Conservatory on a crisp day is the warmth. And then the colors. The opening room is the Palm Room and it's the largest of the interconnected greenhouses.



Stretching Tall


With palm trees rising over thirty feet tall, the space is necessary. Many things are outlandishly large, like you've seen this plants before, but here they have grown beyond what you expect.

While size does impress, sometimes the delicate shocks of vibrance delight even more.



Bird of Paradise


Though sometimes it really is simply the palm leaves and the way light falls upon them casting a spell on the moment.



Reaching Upward



A Palm in the Light
