Conservatory Of Flowers

She actually said I’ve been to the Conservatory of Flowers many times, so be it… this one’s done!

Escape from the cold fog into the tropical rainforest room of the Conservatory of Flowers, or visit one of the featured displays of flowers and plants, or hang around the pond and water plants.

I went on a pleasantly disatrous date to the Conservatory of Flowers many months ago. We met in Gloden Gate Park in the Botanical Gardens for a picnic. Twas nice. The flowers in the conservatory were amazing and at times I felt like I had entered a faery world of beauteuos floral designs.

In a seperate viewing area, the world renowned death flower, which emits an odor of death to attract the correct insects to be polinated, was there at the time but the gal was not into seeing such an amazing aspect of nature. I’m guessing that possibly it is the most unromantic flower ever.

Note to those concerned: the death flower is no longer on display and so this could very well be a romatic place once again.

Of all kinds! I had no idea the Conservatory of Flowers was in California. Shows what I know huh? LOL It seems like a very vibrant, beautiful place I would love to see it some day :)

From the conservatory’s web site:

“The Conservatory of Flowers is a spectacular living museum of rare and beautiful tropical plants including palms, orchids, bromeliads, carnivorous plants and much more.”

Reopened after eight years due to damage from a wind storm, the conservatory is now open and the surrounding flower gardens are beautiful, as well.
