COLOR: A WINTER CARNIVALE
A dazzling display of floral color at San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers treats visitors to one of the greatest shows on earth! It's a spectacular spectacular with more color than most gardens display in mid-summer. Hundreds of plants are arranged in color clusters of red, blue, purple, orange, yellow, green and silver/white, creating a living rainbow of bright blooms and luminous leaves. Whimsical design elements such as jeweled pendants, lanterns and mobiles lend the display a dazzling turn-of-the-century world's fair atmosphere, transporting visitors back in time to the Edwardian era when the wonders of the natural world and science had captivated the public. Children will love the Wheel of Flora-tune, a casino-quality big spin that sends them on a hunt for color clues. Fun facts appear throughout the exhibition to help visitors understand the role that colors play in botanical strategies of survival. If the gray days of winter give you the blues, make your way over to the Conservatory of Flowers for a breathtaking blast of vibrant color and beauty!
November 20 - March 3, 2008 @ Conservatory of Flowers, Golden Gate Park
