While Marley's Away...

Todays photo comes to you thanks to Kate at Visual St Paul. She is sharing with us Como Park Conservatory, and what a conservatory it is! Really grand. When Kate posted on this place in the past she wrote -

"Half an acre under glass, the elegant conservatory is a celebration of the living earth. Plentiful collections of orchids, bromeliads, palms, ferns and bonsai overflow from the six indoor garden rooms into two outdoor gardens. In winter, its steamy glass dome is a perfect escape from Minnesota's rigorous climate. May through September, enjoy the Como Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden."

Sounds like the perfect place to visit on a snowy day!

Wow - that's a beautiful place and a wonderful shot! (I like the snow in summer, provides a little coolness.) Great job, Kate & THANK YOU Marley.

Even without the plants, I'd love to see this conservatory. The building itself is gorgeous!

A very impressive building

Before I looked closely and read the text I thought someone had been to Glasgow, it looks very similar to the design of the Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens.
