Royal Botanic Garden's Calyx displays

The Calyx, in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, is a circular glass and wood building designed to host floral displays. It features an exhibition room and learnign centre, a display courtyard and a tiny island surrounded by a circular walkway with pergola.

In July 2017, the RGB produced a free floral display in The Calyx, called All About Flowers, which was was designed to "bring colour into winter".

The display showcased colourful arrangements of exotic plants including moth orchids, begonias, hydrangeas and garvineas.

Also on show was Australia’s largest green wall - standing six metres high and stretching across 50 metres - which, according to the RGB, is considered "a living watercolour painting, paying poetic homage to the masters of Impressionism".

The pictures below provide a glimpse of this particular display.
