Conservatory of Flowers Golden Gate Park |
Arrive early and you are likely to have the Conservatory all to yourself. | ||
A magnificent showcase for exotic plants and flowers. | ||
Step over the threshold and into a rain forest. | ||
Each room is a carefully controlled environment. | ||
Examples of some of the many exotic plants on display. | ||
Visitors pass through doors from one room to the next. | ||
There is a display of collector's journals and specimens. | ||
This past spring, there was also a room with live butterflies and moths. | ||
Visitors were able to observe them at very close range. | ||
It is like being in your own personal greenhouse. | ||
Visitors were able to watch butterflies feeding and interacting with each other. | ||
Examples of the many different kinds of orchids on display. | ||
The Conservatory's special "Birds and the Bees" exhibit ended in April 2004. | ||
Plan to spend at least an hour exploring within this elegant house of glass. | ||
