The Calyx 5, Sydney Botanic Garden, Sydney, NSW, Australia [Photography]

An indoor conservatory features a glass and metal ceiling draped with flowing, translucent green, blue, and yellow fabric streamers. A large vertical garden wall covered in lush greenery stands in the background alongside several low, circular planters filled with various tropical plants. Three people are positioned near these planters: one individual wears a black and white striped garment with a red bag, another is in blue overalls, and a third wears a red long-sleeved shirt. The light-colored floor is marked by shadows cast from the overhead structure and plants. Large green leaves occupy the immediate foreground at the bottom of the frame.

The Calyx boasts one of the largest green walls in the southern hemisphere and is home to stunning seasonal horticultural displays.

Gardening 101: Button Fern – Gardenista

Spruce flowers and home button fern cover
