     You’re right Gerry. It’s NOT a banana!
     These bowls could hold a L O T of candy.

   Does it house banana from different regions of the world? In Laos we have a banana tree that bears thousands of fruit. Here is a photo from one of the bloggers that visited Laos, http://salalao.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dsc000941.jpg

   Wow! That is an amazing amount of fruit on one single plant.
   About the large glass house: I think it is named “The palm house” now. But when I was a kid, we called it the banana house. They had a large banana plant inside – they still have, I guess – and we children had heard so much about bananas and that they were impossible to buy during WWII and long time after.

   Beautiful greenhouse and garden ! These bowls are very pretty, they look (larger size) like those Italian ice creams “cassata” That is an inviting picture and nice place to be on a Summer day.

   This botanical garden is in the centre of Copenhagen. It is a wonderful place for relaxing or for studying special plants.
   It is the first time I see these large bowls.
   Italian ice! It sounds tempting…
