There are various gardens in and around Siouxland that are fun to visit and explore. The indoor garden at Lauritzen Garden in Omaha, NE adds a bit of an educational aspect by listing the name of the plant so one can become better informed at what they are seeing. The same is true for the plants one comes across outside while traversing the garden’s grounds during the various season.
The indoor garden allows visitors a chance to shake off the cold winter months by enjoying these plants in their enclosed habitat and still enjoy wonderful plants. And the colors of some of these are simply amazing.
Sometimes when photographing, the flowers are wonderful subjects, but it is the color they produce and show the viewer that then becomes the subject, aided when the window rooftop allows in strong sunlight, somewhat filtered by the glass or whatever light passthrough material is used for the indoor habitat. On a cold winter’s day, or cold spring day, the color is fun, something to remind a person that yes, better, more seasonal weather is approaching, and a chance to just enjoy nature.

Very pretty. A nice resource to have.
It very much is. If one can make the trip during the winter it’s a nice respite, and delightful during the growing seasons. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful shots! I love the lines in the first one.
Sharon, thank you. It’s a nice place to visit. This particular room with these plants is hot and humid. A little too much in the summer time. But winter and spring it’s nice. Thanks for reading.
Always love those tropical areas they set up.
