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?
Le ninfee sono meravigliose!Buona giornata.
ReplyDeleteGracias Olga. Un abrazo.
DeleteThose water lilies are so huge we could make a little boat and row off into the sunset together, Nadezda! Maybe next year……best wishes - David
ReplyDeleteHow romantic, David. We'll invite Miriam too. All the best.
DeleteNadezda, your photos from the botanical garden are very nice! The water lilies and the lotus flower are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe tropical plants are thriving in this warm greenhouse, Marit. Beautiful blooms.
DeleteI love Botanical Gardens. Not the Botanical Garden in Munich, although I'm familiar with the city. Hugs and greetings.
ReplyDeleteLucja, I'm sure you've been to Munich, and perhaps next time you'll be able to visit the greenhouses. Thank you.
DeleteThose lily pads are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sue.
DeleteBoa terça-feira, muita paz e saúde minha querida amiga Nadezda. Elas são lindas. Só não sei, se são iguais ao do Brasil. Algumas plantas, lembram a vitória-régia aqui da Amazônia e já vi no Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. Obrigado pela visita e comentário.
ReplyDeleteLuis, the Victoria Regia was brought from the Amazon to the botanical garden. That's why you probably saw it in the garden in Rio de Janeiro.
DeleteGracias por tan preciosas fotografías del jardín botánico, me encantaría visitarlo. Las plantas acuáticas me gustan mucho. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteA mí también me gustan, Teresa. Tengo una ninfea en mi jardín que aguanta el frío.
DeleteQue lindo. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias Citu, un abrazo.
DeleteBeautiful and soothing photos, Nadezda.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteI love visiting botanical gardens.
ReplyDeleteThe aquatic plants are so beautiful.
Fantastic photos ❤️
So I do, Maria. It's nice to remember visits there.
DeleteI've actually never been to the Munich Botanical Garden, although I've visited the city several times. Thank you for your beautiful photos... they gave me so much joy and reminded me that I should visit our Botanical Garden in Dresden again soon.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin was beautiful; I was very happy; it was performed in Russian with German and English surtitles. Last year I saw Swan Lake, and "Sleeping Beauty" in particular was incredibly magnificent... I walked home as if on a sea of clouds.
Hugs
Tchaikovsky's music is wonderful, I agree, Viola. I especially like the Waltz of the Flowers from his Sleeping Beauty. I'm glad you liked my photos. Hugs.
DeleteYour photos are so peaceful – water lilies and lotuses always feel like a dream. I’ve never been to the conservatory in Munich, but the idea of butterflies in winter sounds magical! 🌿🦋
ReplyDeleteArita, I was in the Amsterdam Botanical Garden, and I loved the greenhouse there. You're right, the aquatic flowers remind me of a fairy tale. Hugs.
