During our visit to St. Louis last week, I had the drop me off at the Missouri Botanical Garden where I visited their tropical house called the Climatron and an adjoining simi-tropical building. I could have stayed there for hours but they only gave me a couple so I made it do. Here are some unedited pictures for your enjoyment:
A couple of comments: The orchids had no tag so who knows?
Row 2 first pic is a cycad, probably Lepidozamia peroffskyana.
Row 3, pics 2 and 3 are of a screw pine.
Row 4, pic 1 looks like purple ginger.
The little signs precede the photos.
Row 9, can someone id the bird?
Row 11, pic 2 is a tree aloe like the one I recently bought at Tropiflora.
Row 12, pic 3, gotta love that quiver tree.
Row 16, pic 1, isn't that jasmine cool?
Row 17, pic 3, love that Aeonium!
Row 20, pic 2, huge leaf on that palm but no sign. I'll guess an Attalea cohune but am probably wrong. Biggest leaf I've ever seen.
Row 21, pic 2, love the Japanese red pine.
Row 21, pic 3 is an outside picture of the rose garden
