Tropical Glasshouse, Botanical Garden, Cologne

@Michael Skorulski: The best thing is that most of these plants are able to grow at home (with only little extra care) :-)

@Evelyne Dubos: It's really lovingly equipped, I found several interesting and beautiful species there (and, of course, made a lot of photos).

@MaryB: Thanks, Mary! I always enjoy being there :-)

@Twelvebit: Most plants you can see here just require mild, frost-free temperatures. It's not as hot and sticky as in the rainforest greenhouse.

@Steven: I'd like to go behind that barrier though... There are so many details to discover :)

@Michael: Ich sah neulich Fotos von einem spektakulären Park in Cornwall. Die Pflanzenwelt dort schien direkt der Urzeit entnommen, einfach toll!

@Ana Lúcia: Thank you, Ana Lúcia!

@Observing: Actually it was quite comfortable there, humid heat was in the rainforest house, where it was really sticky!

@akarui: In any case a source of inspiration for my private jungle :)

@JoeB: Yesterday I've read in a book on fossil plants that most likely we're just living in an interglacial and that our temperatures are way behind the temps of former warm periods. So don't throw away to winter coat.
