Royal Botanical Gardens Sydney

On 19 July, 2018 we visited the Calyx in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.  The Calyx is a horticultural space featuring Pollination, a free floral display showcasing the role colour plays in the plant world.  There were many colourful flowers and succulents growing in this controlled temperature environment.  We could see steam wafting from vents at the top of the display wall up near the glass ceiling.  We had lunch in the cafe and then wandered through the gardens down to the harbour foreshore and walked up to the Opera House before catching the train at Circular Quay station.  A big P&O ocean cruise ship was berthed at Circular Quay terminal.
