Grounds and Structures

Although I've been to Munich several times, I visited the Botanical Gardens for the first time in the fall of 2004.  Since the weather wasn't ideal, I did manage to avoid the crowd.

One of the "rooms" in the large greenhouse was reserved for orchids, but many of the plants were behind glass enclosures which made it difficult, if not impossible, to take photos.  Also, many of the flowering orchids were not labeled.
