Hortus Botanicus Leiden

In the University city of Leiden there is a botanical garden that is still in use. It has a nice collection of Asian plants for historical reasons, a systematic garden for teaching purposes and an experimental garden for research into commercial plants.

At the time of our visit, there was an exhibition of carnivorous plants, interesting and nice to photograph. A lot of the pictures were taken there.
