"Lovely spot to enter, get out of the cold, and check out the lily!"
"A warm and cosy pavilion housing water lilies. The pond is huge and showcases some nice white lilies. This place isn’t too large. Free entry at anytime. It’s built of glass, however it’s very warm even in winter. There’s a description of the lilies grown. There are some more plants around which I’m not sure of to name."
"Nice sized room with some giant lily pads in the area. Very humid though. There are some nice flowers on the lily pads if it’s the right season. The small lily pads add a nice contrast to the bigger ones along with the flowers. I would definitely recommend going there as there’s some info on the plants as well as some plants around the edge of the building."
"Amazon Waterlily in the greenhouse, with huge round leaves floating on the water. We saw the beautiful flowers here when spring came. Pretty cool!"
"This is amazing, a true species 'Victoria Amazonica' - Amazon Water Lilly! Wow!! Gardening staff here are so skilled. This is great."
