One Of My Favorite Places On This Earth

One of my favorite places on this earth has horsetail plants with fringe

and scouring rushes.

Como Conservatory is one of my favorite places on this earth.


Throw a penny in and make a wish.

See tropical hibiscus.

Admire orchids up close and personal.


How have I never noticed the spikes on the tree bark before?  It's awesome.


Koi beg for food.


Lovely bromeliads.

This bromeliad was growing out of a tree trunk and right at eye level.

My body loves the heat and humidity of the conservatory.  My soul is also restored.
