Desert Plants in the Kyoto Botanical Gardens Conservatory

By the time I made my way around to the Desert House, my battery was getting low and I didn't photograph many of the plant labels. I took mostly wide views of plant groupings anyway because I was attracted to the structures and combinations rather than individual plants. This was an amazing display.
