David, many of these plants were tropical, from all over the world.
sure hope all those pics didn't blow up your cell phones...
I found it interesting that the Spencer Turbine Company is not only still around but has been since 1892
but has now moved from Hartford to the suburbs in Windsor Ct. Employee owned and made in USA.
they must do some some unique projects for church organs. Can't imagine there are many new church organs still being built. Particularly not anywhere near
this size. There were three or four rooms enclosed in two inch thick glass almost 50 feet long. Two inch thick glass is surely not fooling around; suggests how powerful
this thing is.
Longwood Gardens is funded by the Dupont family all the way back, to when it was called Peirce gardens. Gardens of the very wealthy, made a huge amount of money
first in gunpowder and then in chemicals and plastic. They are building a new greenhouse/exhibition hall the size of a football field to be done in about 2 years.
Must be an almost unlimited amount of old money behind this. They consider themselves the number one garden of its type. A relative bargain at 27 bucks or so to get in; the Biltmore
in Asheville NC wanted something like 60 bucks to walk around. You'd better be throwing rose petals in front of me for sixty bucks...
