I’m Lisa Brandon, Public Relations Manager. After you enjoy the orchid show, stop by our historic Linnean House, outside the Ridgway Center. From now until mid-March, more than 50 different camellias will fill the conservatory with blooms of red, white and pink. Look for the rare, yellow-flowering camellia. This one usually blooms in early March. As you enter the Linnean House, you’ll notice a sweet fragrance - but it’s not the camellias, because they have almost no scent! The delicate fragrance comes from jasmine and olive trees that grow near the entrance.
Inside the Climatron, it’s always a warm, comfortable 85 degrees. Escape winter for a while inside this rain forest of rare, fascinating plants, waterfalls and exotic birds. A walk through the Climatron is like a mini-vacation to the tropics!
Our Japanese Garden was actually designed to be most beautiful in rain, mist and snow. It’s a view worth bundling up for on a snowy day.
