Nepenthes alata and ferns.
At first glance I thought these were candles.
That Bromeliad! And what the heck is that huge leaf on the left? A trick of the camera?
I wonder if there are little fish?
Love this look at the tall green wall.
But this one just might be the best-ever photo of it.
Finally, I had to include this image Steve took of the mechanicals at the top of one of the spheres.
Why? Because it reminded me of this scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ...

Exciting to get a glimpse of this magical place. Hope you get your own peek inside this factory of dreams soon, Charlie!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI thought at first that big green leaf wasn't real, that maybe it was ceramic or glass. But I think you can see it in the picture above it, top right near the concrete walkway. How did he get inside? Does he work there?
ReplyDeleteHe knows somebody who knows somebody who works there...
DeleteWow! Amazing space. I would always be late for whatever as I would have to stop and look at plants every time I was near them.
ReplyDeleteRight? Me too.
DeleteI just listenend to a great interview with the horticulturist for the spheres - Episode 150 of "In Defense of Plants.": It was truly inspiring. I still wonder how electronics do in a planty place...

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up. My podcast listening is spotty at best, but I will make time for this one.
DeleteEverything is so lush! I hope they have a good team of devout gardeners caring for the space to keep it that way. I expect Amazon can afford that.
ReplyDeleteYes I am sure they can, even with #45 on the attack
DeleteOh, you are so lucky to have such connected friends.... So many things to love in there, but that upward shot through the verticals is just stunning! Wow...
ReplyDeleteThat photo is my current desktop background, I love it so much!
DeleteVery cool. How nice of your friend to share!
ReplyDeleteHe's a good egg.
DeleteNice photos, I hope he works out a tour for you. That would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo inspirational - I would love it if every work place had a green space. Imagine it!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of really drool-worthy plants in those domes. Hopefully I'll get to see inside one day, as well.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet it is to have friends in the right places! Thanks for sharing the sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat enormous green thing in the bromeliad photo might be Jeff Bezo's ego. ;^)
