Yes, Chris, I know where O'Fallon is as we stayed near there. The gardens used to be call Shaw Gardens so perhaps that will jog your memory of the place.
Tara, you are probably right about the scarlet tanager. He was quite the handsome fellow and he had a wonderful place to hang out.
Lindsey, I like the name "climatron" too. The next one of us who builds a greenhouse should consider that for the name. Kathy?
I really wanted to ID that plant with the giant leaf (row 9, pic 3 and row 20, pic 2) but could fine no one to ask. Most of the help are clueless and the one person who knows can never be found. Alice, I am for the labels on everything as that is how I learn, which should be the purpose of the place.
I'm glad many of you enjoyed the pictures. It is always nice to share with friends.
Jim
