Behind the Scenes
 

This photo is of the Restricted Glasshouse, where the majority of the
collection is housed and brought out to the public viewing area when in
flower. My thanks to Danny and Becky Brinkman (Director of the Orchid
Collection) for showing me around and allowing me access to this area.

The other photo is of Becky in front of one of the huge ventilation fans for
controlling the climate in the glasshouses.

Probably largest fan but also check out the heating/cooling system!! To die
for. Hate to think what the monthly electricity/gas bill is.

Everything is BIG in Atlanta. ;-)

For anyone that's been to ABG, this is the fan under the cool house that
feeds air into the three big ventilation pipes. Air entering the system is
drawn through an array of nozzles that basically creates a wall of chilled
water to drop the temperature and humidify it, something adapted from the
textile industry. It's a very effective climate control system.
