The Domes

	Map		Reviews

Floral Show Dome - Each show has a specific theme, generally categorized as historical, cultural or fantasy, and chosen at least a year in advance. We select plants specifically for a particular floral exhibit and grow them at our Horticulture Division's Greenhouse Center. Once in place, a show must last from six to fourteen weeks.

We change potted flowers as needed. For a long-running Summer Show, there can be 3-4 complete changes of plantings. The Arid Dome's fine collection of succulents (plants that can store water) and water conserving trees, shrubs and bulbs are grouped by geographic regions. Your tour will take you from Madagascar, to southern and eastern Africa, the Canary Islands, South America, and finally North America. In our microcosm of the rainforest, you'll encounter over 1,200 species of tropical plants as well as birds and iguanas. Tropical rainforests, covering five continents but less than 7% of the Earth's land surface, are home to over 15 million species of plants and animals. It is Earth's most productive and diverse ecosystem.
