Hi everyone,
How's your week going? I'm having an interesting week. Yesterday I bought my first laptop computer. I'm typing this post on it right now. I have a desktop in my office, but I wanted to be able to sit in the living room with Sweetheart and do some blog management or type a post. A new learning curve with Windows 8.
That's all the new news about me.
Now on to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California.
After spending a few hours visiting the Japanese Tea Garden, Go Here.
Sweetheart and I drove to the beautiful Conservatory of Flowers building to see the most beautiful tropical flowers and the most amazing Victorian building.
The flowers in the front of Conservatory are planted twice a year.
The caretaker shared with me that they just finished the spring planting..



One of ten flowering plants on earth is an orchid. The Conservatory's highlands gallery is home to a renowned collection of Pleurothallid orchids, including the Masdevallia and the Dracula vampires

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of The Conservatory of Flowers.

How lovely to share this - I have been to San Fran 3 times since a friend moved there and did go here but it was a colder winter day and not so bloomy as sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and glass house! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is awsome. It reminds me of the conservatory in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blooms. I have been to San Fran several times as my sister lives in Davis, but never here. Making a trip out in June-maybe add it to the list! Carol
ReplyDeleteSå mycket fint ni har hunnit med att se på er resa. Så kul att läsa om det. Det är det som är bra med bloggen man lär sig så mycket om andra länder.
ReplyDeleteHär firar vi Påsk denna helgen med god mat samvaro och godis förstås.
Idag far vi till Blåkulla på en kvast En sed hos oss som är rätt kul.( mest på skämt idag)
Ha en underbar helg

I started a comment. I wonder where it went? Anyhow, this is a awe-inspiring place. Did it inspire you to go home and buy orchids and put up a greenhouse? Thank you for taking us along on your visit.
ReplyDeleteYes we enjoyed it, thanks so much for the tour, and the collage of everything you saw!
