Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Conservatory of Flowers is an elegant piece of San Francisco's Victorian past and a spectacular living museum of rare and beautiful tropical plants. From Borneo to Bolivia, the 1700 species of plants at the Conservatory represent unusual and often endangered flora from more than 50 countries around the world.

Treasures of the Conservatory of Flowers is a breathtaking companion to this national, state, and city landmark. First built in 1887, it is the oldest surviving municipal wood and glass greenhouse in the United States. Like the building itself, Treasures of the Conservatory of Flowers is divided into four parts-lowland tropics, highland tropics, aquatic plants, potted plants-an elegant book that engulfs readers in its lush tropical worlds.
