I really want to put my fingure into it, try if the liquid has strong causticity, but I gave up.

OXFORD TRIP --- PLANT 3

This plant is called Sempervivum Ciliosum.
From Bulgaria.

The white ones are new born baby plant. But I think some of them died, because they turned to brown color.


This one looks beautiful, but I forgot the name.


And this is Victoria Cruziana (wiki), the wiki said some of them can hold up to 70 pounds weight!!!

OXFORD TRIP --- PLANT 1

Last time I went to Oxford botanic garden, as agronomy student graduate China Agricultural University, I like plant so much.

This greenhouse stand at the entrance of botanic garden. It's very small, and the plant seems not very well.
But there still some amazing plant.


This is the first time I saw such a big well decorated Christmas tree.


The shape of the greenhouses are strange. why they use this shape?


A beautiful corner in the garden.
