Winter Gardens: Part I

So named the "Winter Gardens"

but it's open all year round.

Aberdeen City Emblem

Displaying plants from all over the world,

different parts of the building simulate the environment

of various climates,

mainly tropical, arid and temperate,

thus allowing these plants to co-exist in a single building.

Talking about climates bring back memories of "O" levels Geography.

"Using the 2 graphs provided, answer the following questions:

How is the rainfall distribution different between the two places?

Compare the climates in the two places." Etc...

It's a plant lover's heaven,

filled to the ceiling with plants.

I don't know the names of most of the plants,

so I'm not even going to try to name them.

The only ones I can provide names for are

mostly tropical plants

- no prizes for guessing why -

Tropical House

This plant made me miss home!

Not that I have Bougainvilleas at home...

but they are so plentiful everywhere else.

Private estates, window boxes, overhead bridges...

Pink Hibiscus

Orange Hibiscus

Lilies

Ferns; Birds of Paradise in lower left corner

? Name but so pretty!

Arid House

Tea Time!
