On the first Sunday of each month, Franklin Park Conservatory is open free for county residents, so although it's usually crowded, it is a good time for us to visit. We can see the things we're interested in and not feel that internal pressure to see "our money's worth". We visited on Sunday and I took a few photos to share here.
Starting with my favorite of the day, the orchids:
The next one doesn't look all that impressive here, but it is a century plant just about ready to bloom. After it flowers, the parent plant will die and the 'pups' will carry on the growth cycle.
I seldom remember the names of the plants, but I do remember this one is jasmine, and it smelled so good!

Hi Kym, thank you for reading and sharing your lovely florals! Now I'm curious about the century plant! That conservatory looks amazing!
