Still nice though! I kind of had the same feelings about the plants there…the greenhouses had a few amazing plants but so many of them were just kind of…normal? The most amazing thing was visiting all the different Orchid houses in back, they have thousands that never actually make it out on the floor (which really makes me wonder why they have them at all). The rose house there was the absolute worst but they seem to only be keeping it for it's history so I guess I'll give them that.
