London Kew Garden | Orchid Festival, Greenhouses

London Kew Garden | Orchid Festival, Greenhouses
JR BradburyJR Bradbury
Princess of Wales Conservatory was opened by Princess Diana in 1987 and is divided in to several tropical zones and hosts the renowned Orchid Festival in February of each year. Some dazzling sights with the succulents and cactus areas which are really impressive with many different varieties. Also if you are really lucky you might spot one of the very beautiful Chinese Water Dragons, I have posted a photo. A really special place to visit, been there many times and never get tired of it as there is always something to see Orchid Festival 2020 starts February 8th theme is Indonesia going to be great Such a shame Kew Gardens is shut due to the Pandemic and cannot wait for my first visit back

We visited the conservatory during the orchid exhibition, the tickets were free but you needed to buy tickets for the gardens first. The numbers of tickets are also limited and available every half hour. I would definitely recommend booking them in advance. Once we got in and got our bags checked we entered the arid section of the building. There were lots of cacti and succulents that looked like rocks! The rest of the building was filled to the brim with orchids hanging from ceiling to floor. It was a really beautiful experience, the Peruvian music that was playing in the background really made you feel like you were in South America. I would attend again.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kew Gardens and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by an explosion of colors and the sweet fragrance of flowers that instantly made me feel at peace. The vast expanse of the gardens is like stepping into a living painting, with every corner offering a new surprise, whether it's the stunning Waterlily House or the towering Treetop Walkway that gives you a bird's-eye view of the whole area.

What really struck me was how Kew is not just about beauty but also about learning. The informative signs dotted around the place helped me understand the importance of plant conservation and the role Kew plays in safeguarding plant diversity. It's fascinating to see how much care goes into preserving such a diverse range of flora.

One of my favorite spots was the Temperate House, which is like stepping into a different world. The sheer variety of plants from all corners of the globe is mind-blowing, and the way the sunlight filters through the glass and dances on the leaves is just magical.

Kew Gardens is a true gem, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's a place where you can slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and reconnect with nature. I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired, and I can't wait to go back. Whether you're a plant lover, a photography enthusiast, or just in need of some tranquility, Kew Gardens is the...

Un joyau végétal unique au monde, dans un jardin tout aussi exceptionnel !!! Vous pourrez y passer des heures, à contempler des plantes fascinantes et des arbres incroyables... qu'il ne vous serait possible de voir, que dans leurs lointains pays d'origine !! (Amazonie, Malaisie, île Maurice, Madagascar..Afrique du Sud) La grande serre Tropicale, est dédiée à Diana, princesse de Galles et la radieuse beauté de cet espace, lui rend un bel hommage !

"La princesse des cœurs" , à son homologue végétal avec l'anthurium, aux tons déclinés du blanc, rose, au rouge vif.. approchez vous...d'elle,et vous le constaterez.. Avec le "Strelizia" , le Paradis est proche.. cette fleur flamboyante, s'envole hardiment vers l'Afrique Australe, "son nid" d'origine... Si vous cherchez l'origine de son nom.. Il vient de la Reine Charlotte, née Mecklembourg-Strelitz.. grande botaniste amatrice, à l'origine de ce jardin.

Dans cette serre remarquable, des compartiments sont organisés par Zones, températures" ad hoc", idéal pour les frileux..😎 😉et les espèces florales s'épanouissent en toute beauté..

Le bec de perroquet rouge, éclate de splendeur sur le fond vert profond de ses longues feuilles semblables à celles du bananier.. et la sculpturale Rose Porcelaine,du rose au rouge vif..( aux feuilles pouvant atteindre 3 ou 4 m) est appelée rose de cire , par nos amis Anglais (Wax flower) ou bâton de l'empereur !! ou bien encore, Ginger Torch !!!! Imagination pleine d'humour..

Des odorants Frangipaniers font éclater leurs petites étoiles.. allant du blanc au rose en passant par l'ivoire et le rouge rubis.. Ceux ci viennent d'Asie, mais leur berceau d'origine est l'Amérique Centrale.. Cette fleur, est aussi dénommée Plumeria, en l'honneur d'un botaniste Français, et d'un Marquis Italien inventeur d'un parfum à base de ces délicates fleurs au parfum plein de sensualité..

Les Guzmarias, sont ici en grand nombres, enroulées autour des piliers, ou en solitaires du jaune vif au rouge puissant, elles réveillent les visiteurs, un peu assoupis voire un peu écrasés par la chaleur régnante. L'acmée, l'apothéose de cet univers tropical est bien sûr.. et je le gardais pour la fin... 😀

Les bassins aux nenuphars Géants "Victoria Amazonica, appelés familièrement," moules à tartes ".. leurs feuilles flottantes , peuvent s'etaler.... sur 3 mètres !! Leurs fleurs hélas éphémères ne vivent que deux jours.. De très jolies fleurs blanches nacrées des Lotus dressent leurs jolies corolles vers un ciel limité par les parois de la serre, mais elles nous subjuguent, par leur tentative un peu désespérée..

Dans un autre espace, des centaines de Cactus, d'une grandes rareté, aux communs coussins de belles mères, (dont je fais partie) ainsi que de très belles plantes succulentes...

Tout un monde.. que "l'espace orchidées" .. un monde de beauté, ou la compétition est reine, et de mise, pour atteindre: soit, une couleur unique, du blanc pur, au pourpre velouté, en passant par l'orange de la robe des moines bouddhistes....soit, une forme originale et atypique,... ailes de papillons🦋, ou formes : ciselées et déchiquetés de minuscules fleurs..

Là, l'air y est plus frais et votre cœur, au repos, permet de s'attarder un peu plus devant ces demoiselles ravissantes.. Dans votre promenade, vous rencontrerez un petit varan, loin d'être égaré, il fait, à part entière partie de cet univers !! Bonnes photos.. l'inspiration...
