Bolz Conservatory

After visiting the gardens we went into the Bolz Conservatory, admission $2.00 a person

Trumpet Plant from tropical South America



We didn't see many butterflies but . . . . .

we found out that the chrysalis gave up their butterflies today and the Conservatory was closed for the event.

Bananas

Bromeliad, from Espirito Santo, Brazil

Chenille Plant, from Tropical Asia

Crackus Potacus, specimens found all over America

Butterfly Ginger from Tropical Asia


We never learned the name of this plant, but it's a beauty!

Mistletoe Cactus, from Florida to South America 

Pitcher Plant

 The walk thru the Conservatory is an upward spiral so you get a different perspective from each side. Here we're above looking down.

Fishtail Palm, from India to South-East Asia 



There are only 4 species of birds kept in with the butterflies. They are quarantined until determined to be safe for introduction and supposedly they do not eat the butterflies.



Looks like someone has touched this butterfly, one of this "eyes" is missing.
