Botanical garden, greenhouses and Dorian Gray

Hello, yesterday I visited Botanical Garden.

Oh I was really in the mood for it.

Especially for visiting a greenhouse

which is there.

Lately I watched two series

where a greenhouse appeared

(and was meaningful for a plot)

and I really mentally needed to visit it myself.

Both stories were situated during

Victorian Times.

This post is not supposed to be about movies

so quickly...

Penny Dreadful

I started it because of ...XIX century- London,

Dorian Gray and vampires..

but really finished loving it :)

It is Dorian who likes visiting greenhouses.

Especially seeing beautiful, but dangerous exotic plants.

Second series is anime.

I think first anime taking place in Victorian era

which is decently realistic-

Emma- a Victorian Romance.

The greenhouse in this movie

is the part of currently non-existent The Crystal Palace.

The place makes a good background for a subtly developing 

main characters' love.

Crystal Palace music motif from the anime

(as a background music for my pics :))

For this occasion

I put on my biggest straw hat

(for the first time) coordinated with

Marie Antoinette jsk and a white underskirt.

Botanical garden

And with other Lolitas :3

And now inside the greenhouse

Unfortunately we have not met

Dorian Gray,

but well we were absorbed

in decadent pleasures

like... taking selfies.

Don't you think... Dorian would love selfies?

It is not only about being vain,

but rather about doing something completely useless.

And as Oscar said

simply pleasures are the last refuge of the complex.

Oh I forgot to mention

yesterday was Kamijo's birthday!

Best wishes for him! Be even more spoiled

Because

All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.

I made roses cakes

to figuratively spoil him even more :3
