Dear Robert  :)

i found out the location,since one of our member has shots stills of this beautiful place,asking us to see this place as the

biggest green house cum housing complex,this is situated very close to an international airport in the U.S.and there are some

lipsticks seen in the pond too.

but i do not know the name,since i do not remember even the

streest & roads of my own city that i live in.

but the clue is enough for other memebrs to nail the location !

love,

Kris  :)

love conquers all..

Well, if it isn't the Orlando Gaylord palms resort hotel (I was there last year), then there is another resort just like it somewhere else.   Some of those photos look exactly like some of mine from the Gaylord.  Even the hotel room/balconies look identical.  

Beautiful plantings and gardens.

One of Gaylord's hotels, either The Palms in Orlando or the Opryland in Nashville...these are the only two I've visited....  IMO the one in Nashville having a better landscape than the one in Orlando.

DING, DING, DING, DING!  Jeffrey hits the mark.  This is the Gaylord Opryland hotel in Nashville, Tennessee (Zone 7?)  Now, this is how you build a greenhouse!

Special recognition to Ray for a quick, close call (with very little hardscape to key on).  Half credit to those that said Gaylord Orlando (look forward to comparing the two next month).  

Here is a description from their website "Under majestic, climate-controlled glass atriums, you'll be surrounded by nine acres of lush indoor gardens, winding rivers and pathways, and sparkling waterfalls where you can unwind, explore, shop, dine, and be entertained to your heart's content."  BTW, the service was excellent!

This place is amazing.  I was there for a conference and did not do any research before leaving (nor did I bring a camera) as I wasn't expecting such a place in TN.  I ended up buying a camera for these pictures, so I apologize for the poor quality of some of them.  I must say, there is nothing like kicking back in the evenings dining or having coctails in such an environment.  They have a rotating bar in one section, so if you didn't have a good view where you sat, you just needed to wait until a new view came to you.  

Here are some more pictures showing wider angles and atrium structures that would have given the location away.

Thanks Robert for those pics.  Nine acres under glass is quite an accomplishment.  Who would have thought they can grow more things in Nashville than most of us, even coconuts
