After a long wander through the Bazaar, we finally found the Lloyd Botanic
Garden.
The GPS Guide Map to the garden. Notice there are no GPS coordinates.
Walking through the flower tunnel.
Dangling succulents.
Morning Glories.
Darjeeling is full of crumbly old buildings like this. Built by the British and
left to molder in the moist weather.
The Orchid Room.
I guess it's not orchid season.
Orchids don't like dirt.
My guess is that this is a type of flowering onion.
McDonald's yellow orchid blossoms.
The Bonsai Room.
Unless you are a cute little kid.
Pretty little pond... just slightly stagnant.
Nibbly blossom.
Tempting little fairy path.
Shiny green seed pods.
Bloom of undetermined type.
Old stand of cedars.
Nasturtiums.
The garden is surrounded by town, but still green and mostly quiet.
The garden has a healthy collection of moss and lichens.
I'm not sure how the evolution garden works but it sounds like an
interesting concept.
Somehow this is an example of evolution.
