Last stop..... tropical.

.
Our last stop at the domes was the tropical dome. It was as interesting as the others, just not as photogenic. But here goes anyway....



I guess the first thing I should say is that I was wrong..... money DOES grow on trees!!




A banana tree actually had some bananas on it. Banana trees are completely dependent on humans for their continued existence, as no bananas have any seeds that work anymore. More human intervention............









Every time you looked up at something, there was that interesting dome structure.



















This wild looking thing grew right out of a big leaf stalk....














It was hot and humid in this dome, so a trip to the ice cream vending machine was mandatory. Funny, but it was right outside this dome......

I gotta go, Carlo
