One of the advantages of living in a college town is the number of artsy sources in the community. Last month I visited the IU Biology Dept green house for the first time. I was warned ahead of time that it is a “working” green house, so expect hoses and wet concrete. Most of the flowers were one steel-grated tables, not elaborate presentation as most conservatories are. But, that was perfectly fine with me.
I don’t know when the green house was built, but it was likely 50 or more years old. There were some plants there that were enormous. This mosaic is rightly in the “Into-the-depth” category, but I was also impressed by just how green the leaves were in the surrounding area. And, of course, you can’t miss the green house windows at the top of the picture.
I took over 100 photos that day, so you can expect some more “Into-the-depth” shots in the coming months.
