In another one of my shameless promotions of one of my favorite places in Seattle, I thought I would share some recent pictures. What is a Seattle Home Inspector to do when they finish their inspection and there is no report to write? In this case, because the inspection was only a few blocks from The Conservatory, I decided to see what was blooming. This is a place where it is really hard to be disappointed. There are always orchids present, but on this day there was an exceptional number of orchids in bloom. When you enter the Conservatory you immediately enter the Orchid area. If you go east you head toward the Desert House. If you Head west you are headed for the Tropics. On the way to the desert house, I had to check out the Mirror Ball. I was going to use this picture of myself as my new profile picture but decided to not scare little children needlessly. The desert house has always been one of my favorite areas. I have always been fascinated with the spiral patterns of the cacti. And the juxtaposition of hard and soft----or at least the “illusion” of soft. Of course the Tropical Houses are never ones to be out done. When you visit Seattle make sure this place is on your list----and maybe you will even see me there. Charles Buell
