Hortus Botanicus of Amsterdam
Netherlands, Amsterdam, April 2008

The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanical gardens of the world. It contains about 6000 plants and over 4.000 different species. Originally the Hortus was a medicinal herb garden, founded in 1638. Thanks to the VOC (United East Indian Company) the Hortus became larger and larger. It now contains many exotic plants and trees, e.g. a 300 years old bread tree from South Africa.

Teddybear, I have learned from this visit to the Hortus that I should take two photos of each object, the plant itself and the label! I didn't do it, so I do not know whether the bread tree I took ( http://www.fotothing.com/senna3/photo/d7ba8b150b4bb5a4d0f62dcd3fdc5ce3/ ) is this 300 years old one. I have to go back!
