The Greenhouse Effect...

A visit to a tropical greenhouse may be just what was needed mid-winter...

It not only looked lush and green, it also felt lush and green and smelled lush and green...

Looks like you all had fun. I was at our local greenhouse last weekend, and think I need another visit. Our orange trees aren't as lush as yours!

You are right. It is the perfect place to visit mid-winter. The picture of orange filled branches and the photo of bougainvillea are my favorite images.

This brought back memories! I worked one entire winter in a greenhouse and it was wonderful! Inside nice and toasty even in cold gloomy weather, outside BRRRRR. Nice photos, Thanks for sharing!

VioletSky - I wish I lived a little closer to this greenhouse so that I could visit daily! The citrus trees here were amazing...

ds - I wonder if greenhouse oranges taste as good as they look?...they sure looked wonderful!

ELK - Thanks for coming along!

Pamela - I took as many photos of moss as I did of the flowers...I love those colors...

willow - it smelled like spring too!

steviewren - Thanks! I am going to try to go back soon...

C.S. - While I was there I thought it would be a fun place to work...
