Botanical Gardens

S and I visited the really impressive Botanical Gardens at UC Berkeley today. I had met some docents from there at a conference a few months back, but had never been up to visit. Its really a gorgeous place with an incredible range of plants. The most spectacular was probably the Puya berteroniana which is only supposed to bloom every 16 years or so. Its located way up on the top of Berkeley's campus and there's a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the rose garden part.
