At that time there was already a collection of Begoniaceae, as reported by the newspaper Le Constitutionnel in July 1892: \u201c\u00a0<em> Besides the azalea collection\u2026 there is a collection of several hundred camellias which is absolutely marvellous; another of palms, no less beautiful; then ficus, ferns and Begoniaceae of the greatest beauty<\/em>\u201d. Begonias have therefore been present in Paris since the 19th century \u2013 at first for floral decoration and then, many years later, to preserve a plant heritage within the Botanical Garden.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the hothouses the collection is split in two: in a first 300 m\u00b2 greenhouse, the botanical species arranged by continent, and in a second greenhouse, the hybrids, including a collection of cultivars of <em>Begonia rex<\/em> approved as a \u201cnational collection\u201d by the CCVS (Conservatoire des Collections V\u00e9g\u00e9tales Sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es). Both glasshouses have a humid tropical climate, averaging 20 to 25\u00b0C with about 80% humidity, regulated by automatic vents and shading. The plants are mainly grown in clay pots in a mix of peat and perlite, with a few exceptions for more delicate plants. Other supports are also used, such as cork slabs, hanging baskets and terrariums. There is also an in-ground planting of Asian and American species.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The collection is currently undergoing a major renovation lasting several months, but it still displays interesting plants such as <em>Begonia amphioxus<\/em> and <em>Begonia rajah<\/em>, small, brightly coloured terrarium species. And also <em>Begonia<\/em> x \u2018Bettina Rothschild\u2019, one of the first hybrids of <em>Begonia rex<\/em>, raised by the City of Paris in 1866.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gf-container container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4>Informations pratiques<\/h4>\n<p>The garden is open free of charge every day of the year from 9 am to 8 pm (hours vary with the seasons), and the greenhouses from 9 am to 4:30 pm.<br \/>\nJardin des serres d&rsquo;Auteuil, 1 avenue Gordon-Bennett, 75016 Paris.<br \/>\nMetro line 10, \u201cPorte d\u2019Auteuil\u201d station, and bus 123, \u201cStade Roland Garros\u201d stop<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Collection manager<\/span> : Lionel Faure = 01.40.71.75.59.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Le fleuriste municipal, \u00e9difi\u00e9 en 1898, abrite de nombreuses collections de plantes tropicales.
