To Continue the San Diego trip we visited the zoo and it has a lovely setting in Balboa park. It is nice and really a feeling of tropics there. A great visit.
I must say as a place to visit I give it 10 out of 10.
Here are some pics to show the feeling of the place.
I saw what I think is Habaranthus and would like to know if I am right or wrong.
Later we visited See World and as a garden I give it 1 out of 10 but as an attraction 6 out of 10.
If we did not have to leave finger prints
and had our bags searched on arrival to see if we bring food or drinks to the place I would have rated it 7. The plantation is much more of bedding plants and seems to be changed all the time and it was clinical not at all what I like but others might like it. The ratio cement to green was not a good one but maybe needed when the park is full!!
There will also be a picture of what I think is a pacific coast hybrid at the iris page. That picture came from old town that was a nice place to visit but not really a garden place.
Kind regards
