A trip to the San Francisco Botanical Garden…

On Saturday, I went to a plant sale at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. I’ve never been to one, so I just wanted to see what a plant sale is like and what was available. It wasn’t as big as I thought, but they had alpine plants, some succulents and other perennials. I enjoyed looking at the other gardens that lead to the nursery and regretted not bringing my camera. There was one flowing plant that I just had to take a picture of.

Sorry for the poor quality, but this photo was taken with my mobile phone.

Now I want to take a day off of work and plan a day trip (with my camera) and take loads of pictures.
