Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park
Surely, we’re spoiled for orchids around here. Only a few weeks after Orchids in the Park, Dave and I headed over to Golden Gate Park again. This time, we went to the historic Conservatory of Flowers, and found lots of orchids and other stunning blooms. Here are a few of the sights —
The Conservatory consists of five separate rooms, each with a different climate zone. When we visited, the blooms included a brilliantly hued vireya rhododendron, and a dazzlingly variegated hibiscus. Plants with colorful foliage added even more to the tapestry. Orchids were well represented in the Aquatic Plants, Highland Tropics, Lowland Tropics, and Potted Plants galleries. Many of their beautifully grown orchids are rare species, so it’s a pleasure to see them thriving.
As usual, I’ve got plenty of pictures, so check back soon for more. For anybody in the San Francisco Bay Area, resident or visitor, don’t miss the amazing botanical gems at the Conservatory of Flowers. And check out the flower power of the Conservatory’s popular, nightly light show, which runs until October 21st.
