The last week in January, 2009, Walter and I made a trip down
to the WW Seymour Conservatory in Tacoma. It's not a very big
conservatory but it was worth the trip since they had a lovely
installation of Chihuly glass mixed in with the flowers.
This was the first thing you saw on the right when
you came in the door. Everything that's purple is
glass--both the 'flowers' and the spikey leaves.
And on the left there was a whole different color scheme!
This is one of my favorites. It went so well with the tropical plants and greenery.
This is looking back at the door after the first section of display.
The narcissus weren't as loud as paperwhites but they did give the
whole place a nice scent.
This marvelous jar with a glass anthirium in it is just at the edge of the photo above.
There were tons of azaleas, cyclamen and ranunculus, mixed in with the tulips and narcissus.
Every corner had something new!
This cluster of bowls really enchanted me. I took tons of photos of them.
I would have happily taken this one home!
And the water feature not only had these cool glass
balls but koi too!
The conservatory is basically made up of three rooms.
The last room has tons of orchids.
And mixed in with them there was of course more glass.
The glass display lasted until February 22, 2009.
The conservatory changes its flower displays throughout the year so it's
always worth a visit.
