Centennial Park Conservatory |
One of the many paths surrounded by lush green and vibrant colour |
A favourite place for both photographers, weddings photos or just a place to sit and think. |
At Christmas time the place is alive with beautiful poinsettias of every hue. |
I love the crotons
that they have here. The colours are so pretty.
|
They look like statues but they are real. When I took the photo there were three when I came back there was only one lonely one. |
They are very clean and lush here. |
I finally got a few photos |
of |
Bird of paradise. |
The chenille planet. |
This year, we were there when one of the gardeners and the Foreman of the Greenhouse were there. You could tell they both love their jobs. I told him I had a page up of pictures I had taken last year. He visited it and sent an email with some of the particulars of up and coming displays. He said "We are open 365 days a year. On Christmas day we are open 1/2 day, but the other 364 we are open 10 - 5. |
The Christmas show was over January 9 at which time we will changeover to a show including Cyclamens, Cineraria, Schizathus and Kalanchoe. Open Spring show follows and includes a wide variety of bulbs including tulips, daffodils, freesia, crocus. hyacinths, etc. This show usually lasts until Easter. Our Easter show is ready by Palm Sunday. We have Easter Lilies and Hydrangeas." |
