The Secret Garden

This is Cassi, my beautiful botanist friend.

When winter temperatures hit, I sometimes dream about visiting tropical faraway lands and tromping around in beautiful, lush gardens like this.

My lovely friend Cassi, recently posted on her blog about her adventure to the Garfield Park Conservatory with her Plant Evolution & Diversity class. Looks like a pretty rockin' time to me. Thanks for sharing, Cassi!

Snail friend!

These flowers are alight with fire.

Zebra cacti, whoa!

A beautiful patchwork of leaves.
