I visited the Peter the Great Botanical Garden. First I went to the tulip exhibition - (photo 1). There were different varieties of tulips(such as Supri Erotic, Flaming Margarita), even some very tall tulips ( photo 2) and fringed tulips photo 3) , which surprised me very much. Then I went to the greenhouse (I had to stand in a big queue before entering). In the greenhouse everyone walked along a narrow path, listening to the stories of the guide. The greenhouse consisted of several rooms because of the different temperatures for the plants. (photos 4,5,6,7,8)
Actually, I liked the table with meaning of different flowers in Victorian era!!!! (photo 9)
Despite the rather large queue, I liked this place very much.
