Every couple of months you can count on a new horticultural display at the Seymour Conservatory in Wright Park. I went over and checked out the azaleas, daffodils, cyclamen, and amaryllis. I enjoy the soft music, the fragrance of the soil and tropical plants, and I stay awhile to watch the large koi swimming in the pond. A waterfall bubbles over lava rocks, and spreads bubbles over the surface of the water. Little aquatic plants, resembling duckweed, cover the surface of the pond, so the fish remain hidden. The most unusual plant was this papyrus, that had the most delicate fan of leaves - I felt them, and I thought how Egyptians cultivated this plant thousands of years ago, to use the fiber for paper.
