last batch of Biltmore conservatory photos






I think if I had gone into the conservatory first I might never have made it into the estate. I took a fair amount of photos but now looking at them, realize I would love to go back and walk in the front door, documenting each section piece by piece. A project I will anticipate with great pleasure!

Everything is so beautiful. The colors in the first photo are so vivid, I've never seen that particular plant before.

I hadn't either - it was so lovely. I can see it on a sun porch we used to have when I was young - the colors with the furniture that was there.

As a former Biltmore employee, I'm telling you that they have a florist department that is unreal. The ones who worked in the house pulled anything at the slightest sign of wilting---and at that time, if it was something they were removing, they'd let the employees take it home.

I think that in February or in the off season, they let NC residents go for half price. Maybe if you do that some time I can go to Asheville and treat you to Papas and Beer.

Great photos as always
