Conservatory of Flowers, San Francisco, USA

[BarryRice]

Hey Folks,

The Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco is going to have a show called, I believe, CHOMP!, and this show is opening May 4. It should last all summer until November.

It will have a bunch of great plants on display, provided and kept fresh by Peter D'Amato. There will be some interpretive signage, text written by yours truly. And perhaps the most exciting of all, there are models to be on display by Industrial Light and Magic! Is that too cool, or what?

The Conservatory of Flowers is, by the way, a classic Victorian structure that dates back to the days of the Victorian Nepenthes hybrids. It's sort of a time trip to see these plants in a Victorian structure!

Cheers

Barry

I spent the weekend in San Francisco so I stopped by California Carnivores and then this display later on (frankly i spent more time on the orchids and was bored by the carnivores because at that point I had already spent a few hours at CC). Anyways, here are a few pictures.




















It was a nice setup.

edit: oops. All of them are fixed now.
