My Trip to the Franklin Park Conservatory


SilverDragon

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of beating the winter cold at the Franklin Park Conservatory, near Columbus. She also loves palms and cacti like I do, but she has a particular love for Monstera deliciosa, as you'll see. This first pic is in front of one of my favorites, Dypsis lutescens.

Some nice Adonidia merrillii in their South Pacific room. I managed to pick up some seeds, since they come into fruit around this time of year. I started a thread earlier about growing said seeds.
