Luxuriant



Above: the temperatures have been sub-zero for so long now that I had almost forgotten what it is like to not feel cold. So imagine the sense of relief when I stepped into a hothouse and felt myself enveloped in hot moist air. Luxuriant vegetation was spangled with flowers.



Above: vivacious tropical butterflies fluttered about (restricted from getting out by nets).



Above: multi-coloured tropical birds looked down inqusitively.

As an hedonistic experience it was wonderful.
