S.F. Bromeliad Club meets at the Conservatory of Flowers

On June 17, 2010 the S.F. Bromeliad Society was generously given a night time
private tour at one of our crowned jewels in The City , the S.F. Conservatory of Flowers located in the Golden Gate Park.

I was lucky to be tagging along with veteran club member, Wes Schilling as he was composing some of his photo shots inside and outside of the conservatory.
He encouraged me to compose this particular shot from this angle and I’m very appreciative of his coaching.

Of course there were many bromeliads and other epiphytes.

I was smitten with the grated floor drains.

This is actually a man made faux armature that these plants are growing on - nicely done.

A big Thank You goes out to the staff at the conservatory for staying open late and providing us with a wonderful personalized tour of the S.F. Conservatory .
