The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers

Warning - there is no rhyme or reason to these pictures. But they are from one of my favorite places ever: the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. I must have posted about this place before, but i can never get enough. These pictures were from my last visit - just a few that caught my eye.

they have been playing with all these plants, and adding more
this pond needs heart eyes
i could live in this corner



carnivorous plants!


the giants in the entry way (that one in the middle is over 100 years old!)

so many different colored leaves!

including ones that look almost painted

visual overstimulation, yet so relaxing

even their weeds look amazing

i could live here too!
shiny leaves!

plants that will eat you!
things that grow on the wall...
In mid december 2017, i attended NIGHTBLOOM, which was a completely different look at all of this. I think I'll find some pictures of that for next week!

    Such a wonderful place. I've only been there once but was blown away. Could never see too much of this magic!

    Love it too! You seem to be having some R&R lately or maybe it's business travel...

      Ha! It's mostly business travel... i'm just trying to keep an open mind (and eyes!) to the things i can see while i'm flying around.

    Fantastic. Like Peter, I've been there only once and even that visit was decades ago.

      You should go visit! They just finished an update a few years ago, and they have different exhibits all the time. Plus the SF Botanical garden is right there too! Maybe an SF Garden Bloggers Fling?

      Your basement wall reminds me of a mini conservatory of flowers...

    It's been YEARS since I've been there--and I'm so close, relatively speaking. No excuse. Gotta go this year! Thanks for the nudge...
