Yesterday, much of Canada was in a deep freeze. Meanwhile, the temperature here in Vancouver was a balmy 8 degrees Celsius (45 F). Still, it was a real treat to visit Vancouver's Bloedel Conservatory at
Queen Elizabeth Park. Built in 1969, it is the second largest domed conservatory in the world.
Yesterday was the annual plant sale with free admission. This year's
usual entrance price is just $Cdn 4.10. That's quite a bargain! Being able
to sit under the canopy of a tropical rain forest on a January day is worth
considerably more! (Jay seemed to know all the types of plants.)
