Franklin Park Conservatory


At the end of July, my friend Emily and I took a trip to the Franklin Park Conservatory in Bexley, Ohio. The conservatory displays a huge variety of plants from different geographical locations and climate zones, as well as a collection of glass sculptures by the artist Dale Chihuly. What drew me to the venue this summer, was the exhibition of carnivorous plants. These species, in addition to their fascinating digestive processes, have some of the most unique and beautiful shapes and colors of any plants.
