A quick escape to an oasis in the dead of winter comes true with a visit to a nearby conservatory, such as the Allan Gardens Conservatory. Take a stroll through a greenhouse garden in a crystal palace.

Luscious plants were basking in full daylight. One particular wing of the conservatory was featuring a spring show of bulbs with daffodils, tulips and more. A fish in a pond came up to the surface of the water and mouthed “jade, jade”. It made no sense. Why would a fish mouth “jade”?

In a tropical corner of the conservatory, an enchanted setting was created by having to walk through many hanging shoots with unique flower buds. The sun rays were perfectly spotlighting these bright turquoise buds on purple stems. The nearby sign described these plants as jade vines… and it now made sense. The fish was clearly an admirer of these plants and was letting visitors know the jade vines were beginning to bloom. In fact, the early flowers of these vines were at the perfect stage to stand in as jade. What a magical oasis. Noticing the snowy landscape through the window of a dark green door emphasized how warm and tranquil the greenhouse was.
