Images of the Day - Inside the glass atrium

As promised yesterday i will now give you a semi-guided tour of this impressive greenhouse.

A quick shot of the inside of that huge glass roof.

Taken from Chile looking toward the Med
Australia on the left and Cali on the right
 This is the lower level slate wall that is from the canaries area. There is a multitude of fish in this pond, and nearly forgot..... A human size sculpture of Gemma !!!!

And finally to end today's post some macro shots of the the flowers found on our travels in the dome.





Hope you enjoyed.
