Scenic Sunday No. 6--More Cactus View

To continue with my cactus wing at the Conservatory, here are two more pictures of this area. Though I don't think I bring justice to the beautiful view of this part of the garden, I think they can still depict the general feel of the Conservatory.

Pretty Little White Flowers


These small white flowers are like vines among these green leaves. They look like little stars almost! When I am at the Conservatory, the kids usually accompanied me, and my wandering time is limited.

Climbing on the Wall



This is one of my favorite shot of the cactus dome! I like how all the plants stretching up and climbing on to the glass part of the dome. You can also see the blue clear sky outside, even though it is freezing out there.

Icy, your right. These are unusually pretty. The flowers look delicate to belong to the cactus family.

I like the flowers in the first picture, but I find the leaves even more interesting. They look so thick. I like the look of the windows in the second picture. Now I'm sure I've been there, but a long time ago.

Gorgeous photos Icy. The flowers in the first photo remind me of sedum, very similar to the ones I posted yesterday except these are whiter. Could that be a variety of sedum?

That second shot is gorgeous Icy, especially the way the blue sky and clouds display.

I am not good with cactus names but Betchai really knows a lot about it. Remember her beautiful garden?
