In the greenhouse

Here is my first post from inside SIUC’s Plant Biology Greenhouse, a type of Hibiscus (family Malvaceae). Today I wandered through all four of the different “houses” that are adjacent to the garden where I shot a lot of my posts this past summer and early fall — http://365project.org/tags/siuc-garden
There are some very-colorful and very-unusual plants here, so this will likely become a “go-to” place when the dreariness of winter starts to feel “heavy”!
