This beautiful botanical garden lies quite central in Quito. | |
|
There are several nice pounds in the area. |
|
|
|
|
An area with mainly South American cacti, but also some African succulents | |
|
Unfortunately, these Gnitullis? from the Euphorbia family was the closest to caudiciforms I could find. |
|
|
|
|
But the other plants was surely worth the visit and the $3,50 in entrance. | |
|
From what I will call the Pampas area. |
|
|
|
|
And some of the arboretum part. | |
|
Large and rather new house with a line of cacti in front. |
|
|
|
|
Inside the house, you will find a dense, interesting and well maintained jungle. | |
|
As outside, there are plenty of orchids. |
|
|
|
|
And a nice layout. | |
|
Several smaller houses, each with their theme are found around. |
|
|
|
|
Canaverous plants in one. | |
|
One with useful plants. |
|
|
|
|
Yet another one with orchids. | |
|
A new area with trees. |
|
|
|
|
Orchid from outside. | |
|
Part of the nice, little shop |
