The Fata Morgana Tropical Greenhouse is located outside the outdoor exhibitions of the Botanical Garden. All parts of the exhibition are interspersed with paths for visitors with a total length of 225 metres.
The interior of the greenhouse is divided into three separate parts with different temperatures and humidity.
On an area of 1750 m2, you travel through the wilds of Australia, Asia and all the way to the Americas. Here you can visit the South American tropics, the Australian bush, Madagascar, the Philippines or Namakwaland in South Africa. Along the way, you can stop at a waterfall in the rainforest and see aquariums with tropical fish in a rocky tunnel.

i need to draw this part of mochi more but she is honestly, from an onlookers perspective, very weird. and the reason for it is that she has a habit of collecting and hoarding old, gross, used, useless, or otherwise unwanted things.
as a witch, anything can be used all spell ingredients because objects in the world inherently have properties that can be used for spells (think botw where its like "old snail shell can boost speed" kind of thing), and often times the properties are stronger AFTER said object has been gently to moderately used. an eraser has good properties for glue spells BUT a used and chewed on eraser has STRONGER properties for glue spells
so when she was a little kid, in school you could catch her on the floor scraping up eraser shavings that a kid brushed off his desk. the teacher tries to empty out the pencil shavings bin and mochi ZOOMS in with a jar to catch all of it before it goes into the trash. a kid sticks their gum under the desk and 10 minutes later mochi is on the floor scraping it off and putting it in a little box. and when they were young it really FREAKED lime out, but over time hes like "Whatever, you do you i guess." (shes trying to be a good little witch-to-be and help her mom collect potion ingredients)
as she grows up she gets better at blending in and and uhh NOT doing that, but occasionally you'll still catch her picking up old chewed on pencils, rusty paper clips, soggy pieces of paper, whatever off the floor

Remember when boxes of cards -- recipes mostly, other topics also happened -- were a thing in the 1970s?
For those unfamiliar: There were subscription services where they'd send you a box and index dividers then a packet of cards, and every month they'd send you new packets which you would pay for. "Stop at any time", the ads would say, but the cards were typically sent randomly, rather than by chapter, so you'd have to keep receiving cards for several months to get the #27 to fit between January's #26 and April's #28. (The big numbers shown above are the chapters, the card numbers of each were smaller on the back.)
Finding totally complete sets in people's homes or in thrifts/antique stores does happen, but you know many people were a few packets short. I believe I'm missing a set or two myself on my 'The Greenhouse' houseplant information box from 1978...

To be honest, my room is becoming more and more like a small greenhouse…
I am a hunter of water droplets. I love this round shape of water that flows down the large leaves of my green friends.
