Here is a little Maiden Hair Fern that has made itself at home on the Conservatory floor.
The plant below is called Nepenthes 'Miranda'. It is a fascinating type of orchid! The pitchers are around 8 or more inches long!
I can't remember what this is called. Martha Stewart had some on her show a few weeks ago though.
Another orchid.
A collection of ferns.

These conservatory photos are achingly amazing. I love orchids, but man, the FERNS ... I use fern rubber stamps a lot in my journal, but I haven't really 'met' many in person -- now I really want to. And the conservatory itself -- makes me want to dance, all that light! Have you seen the movie Sabrina, or whatever it's called, with Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford? There is a conservatory scene in that -- I don't even know what the characters say to each other, I'm so busy drooling over the plants and building!
Beautiful ferns, they give a forest-y feel to the pictures, a coolness, maybe. What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.
oooh, beautiful! What a great place to escape
to on a cold spring day!
I want to live there! Wouldn't that be awesome? Just find room for a kitchen and restroom, and I'd be set.
These pictures are pure escapism for me on a Sunday night that is slowly creeping into a hectic Monday morning. Ferns are so beautiful. My mum can grow them with her eyes closed. I have always dreamed of having a conservatoy with ferns and white wicker chairs to lie in sipping hot tea. sigh
Gorgeous pictures! I think the fern you have pictured that you saw on Martha Stewart (who I'm in love with but don't tell my wife) is a staghorn fern.
Thanks for stopping by my blog too, come back soon when you're next in town. ;~)
Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with us, it looks like a gorgeous place! Your 'tour' is wonderful...keep the photos coming;)
i love each photo separately, and especially love the mood created by looking at them all together... scrolling through them hanging together in this wonderful post you really get a sense of what it must be like to be in their presence...
The flower is beautiful. I feel it seeming spring.
Loving this series!
Yes, I think TC is correct on the one you weren't sure of, staghorn fern. Just had a customer ask us to try and find him one, maybe because he saw it on Martha!
Hello! Please I want the readers of my blog?
