Hippeastrum papilio

The Greenhouse is a popular teaching tool for University of Washington courses. Each year about 5,000 undergraduates in Biology, Forestry, Landscape Architecture, and Art classes visit the Greenhouse.

Students often stop by the Greenhouse in between classes. Unlike an art museum, whose exhibits change only a few times a year, the Greenhouse is ever changing, with plants coming into bloom, leaves turning, and fruits ripening year round.
