Hey Eplants,
I've been there....they have a moderate collection. A few VFT's, D. capensis, adelaea, spatulata....Couple sars...don't remember which ones. Their best plants were all neps...I remember one particularly nice maxima, and there were a few other pretty good ones.

No, we haven't been there.  Is it in NYC?  If you're planning a trip you'll have to let us know how it is.  And, BTW...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!   Another brilliant Aquarian.  Hope you're having a fine day.

I know the Rochester Botanical gardens are "ok" but thier CP are horrid except for the strangling Nepenthes. I did however like thier orchids and tropical flora section. The birds of paradise were ENORMOUS! I cannot belive how in the world do they get plants that big in a conservatory? Are they planted into the actual eartch beneath the structure?

There are some miscellaneous plants:

As you may see by the pictures, most of the pitchers are dried up due to the lack of humidity (I hardly felt any).
