A few old pics from Krohn Conservatory

[sildanani]

I was looking through some older photos, and found some from Krohn Conservatory. If you ever plan on visiting Ohio, or live around here, it has a nice Butterfly show in the spring. This gorgeous conservatory has been around since 1933 and has over 3,500 plant species! Of course what caught my attention was the fruiting plants. I wish they had more, but I feel that they'd have to micromanage them more than most of their non-fruiting plants. Krohn has several connected greenhouses, one of each climate: desert, tropical, palm, and orchid. I took some pics of the Satsuma(?) citrus, papayas, and cacao. I have also seen Buddha's hand citrus and pomegranate plants. I just find it to be awesome that any of this is growing nearby me! But I'm sure A LOT of moola has gone into it. I am thinking about visiting and inquiring about it's history and maintenance. 
Here are some forgotten pics from 2014.

Reminds me of the SF conservatory of flowers though that's more tropical. I'm going to be volunteering there in late spring/summer but I'll post some pics of their fruiting plants next time I visit.

That's cool. I've had an opportunity to volunteer at krohn. It wasn't the best experience because of the limited info they gave me before hand, but I still like the place. It's a good opportunity to ask questions, since there are probably more peeps in Cali with info for you than peeps in Ohio. At least I have the internet/forum to ask my questions. XD

I learned about plants from my close friend as well as the internet. Luckily, the plants they have are all ones I specialize in, so I already know more than most of the volunteers, despite being the youngest person to volunteer. I still have stuff to learn about some of their plants, so I'm excited for the experience. Going to be answering a lot of questions
