Open after the city cools

Come when the palms go black against the sky.

Palm, arid, alpine, fernery. We open at dusk because some flowers refuse the afternoon.

Cactaceae

Arid house

Gravel, spine, and the plant that opens after the grounds close.

Tall palms under a Victorian glass roof

Arecaceae

Palm house

The high house. Kentia, coconut, a banana that has never seen a trade wind.

Tree ferns and moss in a wet glasshouse

Pteridophyta

Fernery

A room that sounds like rain even when it is not raining.

Alpine plants and a Japanese maple under cool glass

Saxifraga

Alpine house

A mountain on a table. Small plants, serious weather, a maple that thinks it is still on a ridge.
