One of the highlights of
my visit to San Diego was visiting the Botanical Building at Balboa Park. It
was built for the 1915 Exposition and is one of the largest lathe structures in
the world. It’s located at the end of the lily pond and is a breathtaking
example of what I would call Victorian garden architecture.
The building
contains more than 2100 plants, including some of my favorites liked orchids,
cycads and begonias.
This
is the lily pond looking towards
the
main buildings that are built in
a
beautifully ornate Spanish style.
The stunning interior is so calming and peaceful.

I really liked all the
diverse varieties of begonia.
Can you spot the
hummingbird?
Stop by and check it out
next time you're in San
Diego.
It's right next to the
San Diego Zoo!

I love a botanical garden....anywhere. I lived in San Diego for one year, and never went. By the looks of these photos, I missed out.
