Nimphaeas

 Today I want to show you some photos from the botanical garden's conservatory. I especially liked the pool with lots of water lilies and lotuses. These are photos from my archive, reminding me of the wonderful time spent among the beautiful plants of the botanical garden.

 

A little history. In 1915, the New Botanical Garden on the outskirts of Munich opened to visitors. Over time, it has grown to 21 hectares. The garden has glass greenhouses and open areas among ponds and marshy water bodies. The diversity of flora and the distance from the noisy center attract wild birds, insects and amphibians to the garden that you will not see in other city parks.

 

Separate pavilions are reserved for aquatic plants. Thus, in one of them there is a pond for Victoria amazonica - the largest water lily in the world. In another pavilion, a mangrove forest has been recreated with a pond in which carp and other fish swim. From December to March, butterflies are released into the tropical greenhouse, which flutter very close, at arm's length.

Look at the water lilies (nymphaea) and lotuses in the pool. Their large round leaves can support a small weight. 

Have you ever been to the conservatory of the botanical garden?
