@ErmesT, that’s wild (no pun intended). It must be amazing to see these Italian Wild Orchids in bunches in large fields in full bloom.
With your love of nature and flower photography, add to your and @FaridTDF's “Must Sees San Francisco” List - Need to spend a full day at Golden Gate Park (bookmark this site) and visit:
- Conservatory of Flowers
- Japanese Tea Garden
- Strybing Arboretum (San Franciso Botanical Garden)
- Bison (the American Buffalo like in all those American Cowboy movies)
- Stow Lake
- Dutch Windmills (Yes, Dutch Windmills - they first used to pump water and irrigate all of the Park's landscape in 1907).
Golden Gate Park is 20% larger than New York's Central Park.
These are just some of the best GG Park's highlights. And I am not including the world-class California Academy of Science or the DeYoung Museum which can easily be another full day at the Park.
Local Guides Tip: Bring energy bars, water and lots of memory cards and wear comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, and suntan lotion. And always bring a sweater.
Cheers,
Karen

Funny @KarenVChin, isn't it?
Please check here
In winter the temperature in some area go down to -20 °C (-4 °F) or lower. Snow is a good insulator, so the temperature of the soil in not very low.
In the Alps summertime is so beautiful, deep green with wonderful wild flowers. Here a few sample
I took this photo at Passo Rolle (1989 meters above sea)
The next one is a wild lily from Passo Duran (1600 meters)
This is to definitely confirm that I am flowers addicted, it doesn't matter how many petals they have

@FaridTDF, I never knew orchids are outdoor air plants until I visited Thailand. Here, they are always indoors.
Cheers,
Karen

Y unas cuantas orquídeas cubanas en un vivero que visite hace unos cuantos años. Las flores son una pequeña debilidad que tengo a la hora de hacer fotos jejeje 🙂
Saludos Farid
Ok @KarenVChin, you know you have me in this.
So I am proposing a triple swap to you and @FaridTDF, with Dolomites and Patagonia to close the Triangle with San Francisco. Watching wild orchids with @Sagir

Challenge accepted, @Sagir.
Will you take the challenge, @ValeriaA_ ?

Hi @ValeriaA_.
Thanks for accepting the challenge even after participating three times.
The photo which you shared looks great. It reminds me of a recent photo which I took in Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Bengaluru. So I shared it here. I hope you like it. :))
