A Rare View of Antartica at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Garden in Hobart

The Japanese and French Courts at the Royal Botanical Garden showed the significant effort it took to manicure the landscape. But I was particularly keen to see the Sub-Antarctic Plant House, possibly the only such display in all of Australia, if not the world. The maintained a subzero temperature. We saw mostly green, low-laying growth, at the most some short shrubs. There were not too many species of floral on display, and it was not surprising to us. We enjoyed the greenhouse very much. We then visited the conservatory with an amazing display of orchids. They were in all color spectrum and shapes. #royalbotanicalgarden #hobart #tasmania #australia #greenhouse #antartica #orchid #plants #downunder
