When I said we had more photos from the Conservatory of Flowers, I wasn’t kidding. There are a lot of magnificent plants packed under that elegant metalwork and white glass. With all the lush greenery, it’s easy to miss some of the orchids, especially the miniatures. To take it in, it’s best to go slowly and stroll along the paths. Of course, many of the flowers jump out with large blooms, bright colors, and elaborate shapes.

The Conservatory houses plenty of tropical plants in addition to orchids. Hibiscus, bromeliads, ferns, and carnivorous pitcher plants abound. It’s a little bit of the tropics in the middle of San Francisco.
