The Huntington's Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science

The Conservatory (nearby the Children's Garden) houses many tropical plants from the rainforest and other humid areas. There are a couple rooms off the main rotunda that had more interactive (if working) exhibits and especially the working microscopes were very nice once focused (and again if properly working). I especially liked the fluffy flower plant that reminded me of the Lorax Thneed 😁 I did find a small metal cylinder in the main room on a railing nearby the volunteer desk (unmanned today) that was a kaleidoscope when looked through! Felt like I kinda discovered it as no one seemed to notice after me 🤭

È stata un’esperienza semplicemente straordinaria quanto sorprendente. Entrare nella serra è come fare un viaggio in un altro mondo, circondati da piante vive che popolano tre habitat completamente diversi: la foresta pluviale tropicale, la foresta nebulosa e l’area dedicata alle piante carnivore. Ogni ambiente è coinvolgente e curato nei minimi dettagli. Un’esperienza educativa e davvero emozionante, da consigliare.

Inside the room is humid. There are a lot of tropic trees and flowers. You can also learn a lot of knowledges from the posters and microscopes in the room.

What a wonderful time
