Bloedel Conservatory part 4. Photo 1: Here is what I assume is a temporary display by the Vancouver Orchid Society. Photos 2-3: They have a Wollemi Pine! I posted about them a few weeks ago (quirky and highly endangered Australian conifer whose entire habitat is one tiny valley, only described by science in the 1990s). Photo 4: Venus fly traps growing pretty much directly on some (frequently damp) limestone rocks. Very interesting!

Bloedel Conservatory part 3. A lot of the plants are readily recognizable as houseplants, but not all. It seems like the larger specimens are permanent, but quite a few of the smaller plants are grown in greenhouse grown and added as they come into bloom, and periodically swapped out. Still, it takes a lot of skill to create arrangements like photo 4-- naturalistic but attuned to human aesthetics.

Bloedel Conservatory part 2. This conservatory has the usual complement of tropical plants. Less often seen is one that has free-flying birds inside it. The bigger parrots seem to have their wing feathers clipped but the smaller ones fly through the canopy and poop on people.

Visited the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver BC yesterday. It's named after Prentice Bloedel, scion of timber baron Julius Bloedel and relative of Seattle arts philanthropists Virginia Weighted (Bailey Wright). Bloedel reserve in #BainbridgeIsland is their other botanical legacy. There's a very similar geodesic dome tropical conservatory at the St Louis Botanical Garden. #PNW #Vancouver #Houseplants

Selection size: small
Selection tier: A
Pricing: $$
Notes: wonderfully quaint little shop “near” the ferry terminal and across from Town & Country and Blackbird Bakery. Owner is just such a nice guy. Half the shop is dedicated to books and the other half strictly to vinyl. They have a great selection of new and used. Well worth a visit. Jazz selection is always a treat.

Does it really count as moving if you don't bring the house itself? #bainbridgeisland
