I don't get to the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park often, but it is always a pleasant visit when I can go inside. The glass house once is the oldest surviving wooden glass conservatory in the US, and there is a philodendron over 110 years old within it, which I've wanted to show to my own philodendrons over the years as a way of providing them with a role model.

I visited to play with a specific novelty camera, but couldn't resist taking images of details that stood out to me.
