They are not in the category of roses, as far as beauty and neatness is concerned. But there is some element of cheekiness in their beauty! ~bangchik

The first looks like it's about to bloom some pink flowers. How pretty! I've never seen the second flower before. I don't suppose it's an indigenous SF flower, is it?

Bang, exactly, it's the unique qualities :D

RoseBelle, It could very well be. I am going back today and I'll try to find more info on both, if I can find them again :)

I don't know the name of these flowers (what a surprise, I did not guess the car headlight in your photo either :), but they are so unique, love these textures.
I hope you'll join the contest on my blog!

I took photos of these kind of flowers too. I find them very interesting but not too crazy to touch them. Gives me some goosebumps... but they are really pretty.

These are both so good. It almost looks like a little bird perched on that first one.

I love how macro can capture the little details that we don't always notice on our own. The second one is especially interesting.

My oh my, what beauty we encountered. The first pink fuzzy flower is so intriguing. Looks like there are many layers as well.

The first photo looks like a flower within a flower. I like it and looks like spiders might have made it their home.

Out on the Prairie, thanks for the info, it could very well be. Thank you.

Fullet, Thank you and I will check out your contest tomorrow :)

Ann, I like the fuzziness :)

RS, Aw, thank you for the kind compliment :)

Ruth, yes, they are very pretty and also so exotic.

Ratty, you know I never thought of that but you are right

Catherine, exactly, that's what I love about macro. We can see the beauty in the tiniest of details. Thanks

Self, Thanks, yes several layers and all fuzzy, it needs a shave :D

Michelle, Unfortunately I don't know what the first one is but I will do some research.

Icy, I know, it's so cool :)

Save The San Francisco Botanical Gardens

All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...
