\"Princess<\/a>\"View<\/a>\"Water<\/a><\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales Conservatory is one of Kew Gardens’<\/a> greatest treasures. Opened by Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1987, this enormous glasshouse features 10 different climate zones with extraordinary plant displays. The building itself is a modern counterpoint to the historic Victorian style of the Palm House<\/a>, located a short walk away.<\/p>\n

\"Grammatophyllum<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Plant<\/a><\/p>\n

The conservatory hosts incredible orchid displays, with a room for Tropical Orchids, and a separate one for Temperate Orchids. Most of the orchid photos from my first<\/a> and second Kew posts<\/a> were from these areas. There are also desert, rainforest, fern, and carnivorous plant zones.<\/p>\n

\"Cacti<\/a>\"Echinopsis<\/a>\"Tropical<\/a><\/p>\n

The largest rooms house the Tropical Desert and the Tropical Rainforest. These photos just scratch the surface of the conservatory’s riches. Learn more about the Princess of Wales Conservatory at Kew’s website<\/a>, and don’t miss it if you’re in London!<\/p>\n
