Sampling the tropics

Linda and I visited the Des Moines Botanical Center and got a break from the Iowa winter for an hour or so. As usual, we took our cameras and captured some nice images. We also got to visit a couple of displays in areas we'd not been to before. There was a very nice collection of photos and related flower arrangements. We also got to visit what appeared to be a greenhouse that had a nice variety of plants and structure. It's nice to have such a pretty place to escape the chill for a little while.
