The mild\u00a0Mediterranean greenhouse\u00a0replicates the dry summers and foggy winters of the Mediterranean basin and southern California. The\u00a0Tropical Forest greenhouse\u00a0displays plants that originate in the tropics, including those native to parts of Africa, Asia, the Americas, Australia, and some tropical islands. The\u00a0Desert greenhouse\u00a0showcases plants that can endure the harsh, windy, and arid conditions of the desert where daytime temperatures can climb as high as 125 degrees Fahrenheit and fall as low as 10 degrees at night, with little rainfall. The\u00a0Orchid Room\u00a0features the largest of all the plant groups, which includes over 30,000 species and more than 100,000 registered hybrids.
