First, the Tropical Greenhouse:







From the Semi-Tropical Greenhouse:




From the Arid Greenhouse:
Echinocactus grusonii with some Euphorbia milii and Aloe

Agave americana, with its flower stalk growing out of the roof of the greenhouse, as seen in the picture above this one
Adenium obesum
Aloe ammophila
Euphorbia 'Welcome Home'





Because I am a lover of tropical plants, particularly those that will grow well indoors, my favorite areas of any public garden are the greenhouses. I will probably post more pictures from the CBG greenhouses as the months progress.

I took pictures of some of those same plants just a couple of weeks ago! I'm glad to see the agave hasn't bloomed yet; I don't want to miss it when it does.
Great pictures! I, too, love the Chicago Botanic Garden. In my opinion it is one of the best in the world.
Those gardens are beautiful, thanks for sharing! They all seem to have and Adenium obesum but no one has and Adenium arabicum. I should donate some!
