A cluster of white orchid flowers is prominently displayed in the foreground under bright sunlight. The large petals are white with small yellow and dark markings at the center of each bloom. High contrast exists between these brightly lit flowers and the dark, shadowed surroundings. In the upper left, some green, fan-shaped leaves are partially illuminated. To the right, a sun-dappled surface is visible amidst deep shadows.

A vertical garden wall curves along a paved walkway inside a large glass conservatory filled with mist and sunlight. The massive wall on the left is densely covered in various green plants, some featuring small pink and purple flowers. Beams of bright sunlight stream down from a glass ceiling through a layer of fog. On the right, several large planters sit along the edge of the path next to hanging plants. The curved concrete path leads toward the silhouettes of people standing in the distance under the light rays.

#architecture #thecalyx #venue #livingwall #sydney #australia #garden #plants #botanicgarden

An indoor conservatory features a glass and metal ceiling draped with flowing, translucent green, blue, and yellow fabric streamers. A large vertical garden wall covered in lush greenery stands in the background alongside several low, circular planters filled with various tropical plants. Three people are positioned near these planters: one individual wears a black and white striped garment with a red bag, another is in blue overalls, and a third wears a red long-sleeved shirt. The light-colored floor is marked by shadows cast from the overhead structure and plants. Large green leaves occupy the immediate foreground at the bottom of the frame.

A close-up photograph shows three bright yellow orchid blossoms arranged vertically. The top blossom features large, rounded petals with a small white and dark pink center. Below it, a second orchid is positioned slightly to the left, showing similar yellow petals and a prominent reddish-pink labellum. A third bloom sits towards the bottom right, angled downward with visible yellow sepals and a pink-tipped center. The background is dark and out of focus with blurry magenta spots, accompanied by green leaves at the base and side of the flowers.

A vertical photograph captures a greenhouse interior filled with hanging greenery and colorful fabric elements under a glass ceiling. Large, dark green pleated fabric shapes hang from the metal structure alongside long, vertical strips of yellow and red material. Various green vines and trailing plants cascade down through the center of the frame. On the right side, a dense wall is covered in many small, bright green plants arranged in rows. A clear blue sky is visible through the glass panels of the overhead framework.

A living wall garden in Norwich, nothing to do with me other than I’ve walked past here for years and only really noticed how impressive it is last week. Thought it may be of general interest to like minded gardeners.

This adorable, simple moss logo was a blast to make! We had the challenge of making the cat and dog stand out from one another. So glad the client loved what we did - another mossome project for the books!
