The recent weekends were rainy – we went to the Golden Gate Park twice:
The first time, on the 21st of February we found the tropical hothouse closed already.
Island Poppy
We went for a stroll and duck watching walk on Stow Lake island and were rewarded with a pretty sunset
We really wanted to see the tropical flowers (and feel warm again) so we went back the following weekend.
Leilani obviously does not want her picture taken…
Anthurium
They had a pretty neat exhibition – SF landmarks made from recycled materials.
Phalaenopsis Orchid
Min i Koi fish (or big goldfish?)
One of the plants Leilani immediately and correctly identified is Taro (Kalo) seen in the upper left corner
Bromeliads
Carnivorous Nepenthes Pitcher plant
Carnivorous Sundew
We left between 2 rains howers, Leilani hurried
But then she demanded the camera to help me take more plant photos
…and also an image of her boots :-)
I used more flower pictures from the Golden Gate park and our recent hikes to create this composite
