Very interesting place, thanks for showing these cool pics!!! Maybe you have a closer-up of the building? Jean

Before we go inside for a small exhibit, ths dahlia plot was started in 1917.
Maintained by volunteers. A 'master gardener' was very kind to speak to us.
The powdery mildew- trace amounts.

Lets go inside.

**Fdhwzctl** · 08-23-2010, 09:11 AM

Look at those carnivores!

The bat is cool too!

**olivelappers** · 08-23-2010, 03:59 PM

Too much fun. Wish I could go there. THanks for the pics.

**Matajic** · 08-23-2010, 05:50 PM

Did you leave Chrissy there for a plant to eat!?

Thanx for posting, have fun.

**Charryith** · 08-23-2010, 06:34 PM

Awesome pics, Clark!

Thanks for the tour!

**RLRWai4B** · 08-23-2010, 07:18 PM

Thanks for the great photos, Clark! The Conservatory in Golden Gate Park is one of my favorite places in the park. The Rhododendron Dell across the street from it is also fabulous in the spring when all the Rhodies and Azaleas are in full bloom. Did you also check out the Botanical Garden and the Rose Garden? There is also a Dutch Windmill near the beach that has thousands of tulips and daffodils blooming in the spring. It's been years since I've visited the Conservatory. I think I need to go back soon.

Simply awesome!

...and carnivorous plants are my heroes

**Vegeinvalge** · 08-23-2010, 11:47 PM

Great Pictures! Love those Dahlia's!

Were you on vacation? Great place to see on one!

**Fdhwzctl** · 08-24-2010, 05:04 AM

Thank you.
There was no glare from the sun that morning. To me, good for photos.
Inside, there were lots of orchids and tropicals. It was very cool outside, warm and humid inside. The moment one took the lense cover off, nothing but condensation and time was short.
Rick- yes this was a portion of our vacation.
Nik- no we did not. San Fran was 2nights, one day. We did get to breeze though the Japanese Tea Garden. Spent the afternoon at the Golden Gate Bridge and waterfront. Nightcap at 'The Black Magic Voodoo Lounge'. And yes, they serve Fat Tire.

Japanese Tea Garden

I won't bore anybody with bridge photos, but for folks that enjoy rod and reel, check this guy out- surrounded by the competition!
Three dolphins played a while in this guy's casting zone.

Interesting and beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

**Talicoabilk** · 08-24-2010, 07:27 AM

Awesome photos. Loved seeing them. Those Dahlias are inspiring! Thanks for posting!

**suidinguilelf** · 08-24-2010, 08:39 AM

Wow, where to begin? Awesome place - I will have to have a look if I'm ever over that way. The dahlia shots are great!
