Winter: the night is dark and full of terrors. To combat such things I took to the Franklin Park Conservatory yesterday to fill my imagination with enough vitamin D to outlast the brief groundhog predictions. With my trusty pals, Catie and Anna, I viewed several diversely botanical habitats and gained a few fronds in the process. (Yes.) Feast your eyes on the cure to warmth deprivation.

The conservatory is peppered with glassworks by Dale Chihuly.

Catie feels at home beneath the fronds.
