Every year the Krohn Conservatory Christmas display is familiar, and every year it is a little different. This year's theme is "A Crystal Holiday," with crystals draped here and there. There are the usual wonderful poinsettias and coleus plants as well as a few others. Interspersed here and there are Cincinnati landmarks and trains.
After the Christmas rush of "doing," the Krohn is a wonderful way to slow down, to look at flowers and huge plants and water and just be. We went toward the end of the afternoon, in the last hour, and it was still crowded but there were a few close parking spots. As the 5:00 closing time approached, the crowd started to thin and there were photo op spaces.
A surprise for us this year were National Park Service structures, including the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The first clue was when we spotted a National Park lodge, probably Yellowstone. These structures are in the greenhouses outside the special display area.
Definitely, go if you can. It's open through January 6.
