Como Zoo Conservatory

Meet my new partner in crime, William! (born September 2013)

                 
                         
The two of us had the opportunity to visit the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in March. It was great to be around all the greenery after a long, cold Minnesota winter, and introduce William to the wonder of plants. He wasn't too interested in the plants, but he got really excited about the big kitties (lions, tigers, and cougars, oh my!) that we saw later.

Below are pictures from the Fern Room. I've tried to get the names of a few of them, but it's been a while since I took the pictures so I can't remember which name matches up with which fern. If you know I've given one the wrong name, please let me know! (If you want to see pictures from the last time I was at the Fern Room, click here.)

No trip to the Conservatory would be complete without visiting the Sunken Garden. Below are pictures of their Winter Flower Show. (For pictures of the Winter Flower Show from my last trip here, click here.
