Zürich Botanical Garden April 2008

Last week when we were for a short break in Switzerland we visited the Botanical Garden at Zürich.
The weather was not so good but it was dry though cold, about 3 C.
Therefore some pictures are not so good, but I think I show them here because many of you will not be able to visit this garden.
In the first batch I show the entrance with tulips followed after a colourful spring meadow.
Then the screegarden with some plants growing there.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

There are three glasshouses. One of them for tropical plants and
two are for subtropical and mediterranean climates.
In the first were not many flowers at the moment and it was so hot that we rushed out into the other houses.

Today sending pics was like in old days without DSL, very slow.
But when I started I decided to go on till the end.
