Notes (Roving Rube): Moss and creeper things infest the rock walls in the Rain Forest area of the Conservatory at the New York Botanical Gardens.

Nice to be able to visit the rain forest in the middle of winter. In fact, that's one of the great things about NYC: anything you happen to read about in a story, that same day you can probably find a museum or something with the real thing in it for you to study up close.
