Berlin botanical gardens. Part 2.

Carnivorous plants.

And some staghorn ferns. Ahhh!




Just slap your cacti on a slab and tie it up.
I almost got a heart attack when I entered the bromeliad section of the green house. So lush! Aged tillandsias, the size of a small child.







Ferns again.



This fat orchid is a home to ants. The stems are hollow inside.
The succulent area was not that spectacular, compared to the tropical areas. Many cacti though, but they do not interest me for some reason. Never have.
I love this alaudia with heart shaped leaves.
Senecio carpet.

Berlin botanical garden. Part 1.

 Fallen tree needles on the way to the botanical gardens in Berlin.


 They had a fern section!



 One of my dreams.
 Ant plant peeking out behind a tree.

 One of the largest orchids. A monster indeed.


 Another odd looking orchid.


There were not so many blossoming orchids, but enough to make my heart beat faster.
 Just unfolding.
 Look at these oncidium orchid roots!
 Masdevalia orchid with flies.

 The best bulbophyllum orchid I have ever seen. The shapes, the colors! I wonder if it's a stinker...



Another old oncidium.
