An entire room devoted to orchids! Other people walking through this room probably thought I was weird because I couldn't hide my delight. I pretended to fiddle with my camera so I could spend some time being surrounded by these lovely flowers. This is the Princess of Wales Conservatory.
As an American, I thought it was named for Diana, but really this greenhouse was sponsored by Diana in remembrance of a different princess, Augusta, who began Kew Gardens 250 years ago.
An entire room is devoted to cacti, and I couldn't help taking a picture of cacao (that brown bean on the tree) in another area. There are ten different zones.
Excuse my fan girl moment--An entire room devoted to blooming orchids!
