Okay, this is taking longer than I thought, so I'm going to post some of the pictures today and some another day.
Krohn Conservatory is in Eden Park in Cincinnati. So this one lady on the bus says, "Hmmm. A garden in Eden…." And this other lady says, off-hand, "Don't eat the fruit."
These pictures have gotten all mixed up somehow, but the first thing we saw when we went in was a bunch of umbrellas and parasols hanging upside down. It was very cheery, somehow.
There was a koi pond and, as is the case with any smallish public pond, pool, pit, basin or well in America, people had tossed pennies into it. I don't know why people learn to play the violin when they could just put a bucket on the sidewalk and label it, "Drop a coin, make a wish" and retire to a villa on the Riviera.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures.
