Unexpected hoticultural display.

last year

Stopped at a hotel in Nashville Tn.
The place has about 8 acres of gardens on site, all inside an attached conservitory.
There is such a variety of Tropical and subtropical plants, I'm overwhelmed.
I took so many pictures, I can't post them all. Here's a few to give an idea.

I forget the name of it but it's long been well known. I saw a feature about it on TV, possibly as early as the early/mid 1990s. (if that early, it was featured on Victory Garden.) Update - Google easily helped me remember the name: the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.

I can see why you'd be overwhelmed. Some of those are just hard for me to imagine. I hardly know anything about palms, but perhaps some of the tall palms are just the native-to-FL cabbage palms (which can take alittle freezing exposure). I see 1 or 2 that might be coconut palms.

Beng,

There shouldn't be any freezing here. It's all inside the guest area. WWW says all tropical.

This was all booked ahead of time (not by me), so I really was surprised.
