Getting out and about.
The Succulents of LotuslandI found myself in Santa Barbara, California, last weekend and got the chance to visit Lotusland. I was prepared for Lotus flowers, but what really blew me away? The succulents.
A Visit to Quarryhill Botanical GardenYou drive by miles of grape groves, tidy lines on the hillsides, before getting to this oasis of wild nature. Yet, the place is also unnatural, as all of the plants come from half a world away.
A Wintertime Visit to California CarnivoresThis weekend I got to visit California Carnivores in Sebastopol, CA, growing carnivorous plants since 1989. The plants were all dormant since it’s winter, but there was still so much beauty to be seen.
Up Close in the Conservatory of FlowersThe lens allowed me to see the tiniest of flowers ultra close up.
Plantgasm on FinderyFindery is a fun new site that lets you attach virtual notes to real places. I’ve been using it to note some of my favorite plants in San Francisco.
The Critters of RF OrchidsMy favorite part of RF Orchids wasn’t the orchids.
A Visit to the Fairchild Botanic GardenI love living in San Francisco, but all my favorite plants belong to the tropics.
San Francisco’s Newest Hidden Plant StoreJust last month, the SFBG opened a small plant store, and it’s a gem.
Everything’s Blooming at the ConservatoryEven if you’ve been to the Conservatory of Flowers before, it’s time for another visit.
A Visit to SarraceniaDude GardensI’d seen some carnivorous plants before, but I’ve never seen anything like Rob’s garden.
