See, smell and touch exotic plants from misty mountains and lowland forest. Discover plants from tropical ecosystems. On permanent display at the Sydney Tropical Centre are weird and colourful heliconias, bat flowers, orchids, jade plants and many other bizarre plants. They are mostly rare species collected from steamy high altitudes and from lowland tropical areas around the world.
It's not just the plants which are stunning, the Sydney Tropical Centre is architecturally stunning too. A glass Pyramid, one of the first of its kind in the world, sits beside a series of arc shaped glasshouses. Each section has automatic heating and cooling systems to maintain the constant temperature and humidity in which its resident plants thrive.
As well as the exotic specimens the tropical collection at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens features Australian plants originating from monsoonal woodlands in the north of the continent and from the rainforests of the north east coast and ranges.
