Balboa Park Botanical Garden


This weekend I went to the Botanical Gardens in Balboa Park. It is truly such a beautiful place to walk around and take in all the sights. There are so many types of plants from shrubbery, orchids and even carnivorous plants! Although, I wish more of the flowers had indicator signs because I wanted to know what some of them were called. Either way, I could not think of a more relaxing way to spend my Saturday afternoon than wandering through all the bright flowers and taking in the simple beauty of the Botanical Garden.


There were so many flowers in different shades not normally seen, I couldn't help but love the deep burgundy of these orchids. (Orchids are what the gardens are known for, from what I have read.)




I found these signs in the touch & smell garden especially entertaining.


How adorable are these Polka Dot Plants!



These flowers were also interesting, they were as big as my hands!





Overall it is such a beautiful place, I recommend everyone goes and enjoys the simple beauty of the flowers on a warm sunny day!
