Tom and I visited the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park last weekend, and we had a great time! Admission is only $3 with your student ID. Definitely worth a trip out - to take a break from studies.

They currently have a special children-friendly display on butterflies, called "The Butterfly Zone"

As always, you'll see...
breathtaking orchids:

Spunky bromeliads:

Enchanting Gingers & Heliconia:

And even the understated beauty of Penjing landscapes:
