Conservatory of Flowers:
Since 1879, locals and visitors have marveled
at San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers, the oldest glass-and-wood Victorian greenhouse in the Western Hemisphere and home to more than 10,000 plants from around the globe.
The Conservancy of Flowers was damaged by a 1995 storm and closed to the public for eight years, and is finally open again after a $25 million restoration.
The plant life inside the Conservancy of Flowers is spectacular. Located beneath the conservatory dome, the warmest and most humid section of the building, is the conservatory's prized century-old imperial philodendron.
The east wing houses the Highland Tropics collection and aquatic plants display (including real lily pads that can hold the weight of a small child), while the west side is dedicated to seasonal flowering plants and educational exhibits (the first, all about plant pollination, features 800 live butterflies that will flit about among the visitors.)
Signs are kept to a minimum so visitors can simply soak up the beauty. Located at the eastern end of the park, just off Conservatory Drive. For visitors' information, see their Web site.
