Thank you so much, I enjoyed the tour , gave me some ideas for one of my planters.
SF Botanical Gardens and Consevatory images
Great plants, I especially like the one with the cork screw 'flowers'
Sue, Wonderful tour around and I love your photos! Beautiful!
very cool - thx for the picture tour! that one huge container is great. i want my new 15 sq foot north planter to look like that in a year!
Wow, thank you! What a treat!

Those pictures are just gorgeous! I don't blame Conner for being impressed with the pitcher plant, and that bat plant - I'm rushing on over to the plant files to see if I can grow this in San Bernardino!!
My daughter moved up to San Francisco to go to college, I'm sending her your page link with a note that next time I'm in town, guess where we're going!
Thanks for the to9ur!
Wow thanks for the aweome tour. Makes me wish I could get on a plane and visit San Francisco!!!
What is the botanical name one the bat face plant?
Gorgeous pictures and great inspiration to get outside and get planting!

Thanks Sue.
Great something else I can only dream about .
Sue,
What lovely photos you took. Thanks for sharing with us.
Did you ever find out from Brian, what some of the photos were? I'd really like photo #1 and would love the name.
Donna
He never posted back in here Donna.
Thanks Sue. Hope he returns again. :-)
Ok Brian, anybody, I hope you can pop in here and help with some names. I went again yesterday and got some more shots of different things, alwasy see something new.
The stems of this are gorgeous, I am guessing this may be ALOCASIA 'TIGRINA SUPERBA'?
Here are the leaves although it was real hard to get the shot against the window of the conservatory and I couldn't get a good angle.

Now if I got the correct tag on this, it's a Philodendrum speciosum 'Imperial philodendrum'.
all the leaves of this one were solid green except the markings on this one. Virus? Pretty though
I am drawn to the giant each time I visit.
begoniacrazii, Laurie, is too!
Roldana petasitis
Dancing?
And singing?
many large trees and branches just covered in wonderful collections!
and the big pot has been changed with new plants
Dangerous looking stem of Salacca wallichiana 'Salak'

and it's draping stems with new growth
No idea what this is, anyone?

Sue, those are wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing them. The plant above looks very "panax" so I'd suggest doing image google searches under Metapanax, Dendropanax, Kalopanax, Nothopanax, Oreopanax (yum!), Pentapanax, Pseudopanax, Neopanax.
It's one of them. Nice linear leaves.
