Previous Editors' Note (2023): We are fortunate to have moved into an apartment building just across the street from a public conservatory whose warm, humid, glass-roofed galleries offer the visitor views and dreams of escape to tropical floral environments. Visits are especially reinvigorating on dark and depressing winter days, and admission is free! Readers should note that the buiding, partly closed,  is undergoing a structural renovation that will be completed in 2025.

You might also enjoy reviewing photo-enhanced poetry posts related to poinsettias, koi, red-eared sliders(turtles), Canadian cactus, and Leda and the Swan at the same destination.
