Every year we get a visit from our good friend Steffen Bretzke from
Aachen, Germany. This year, in June, while he was here we visited
the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, and the popular
Muir Woods National Monument in Marin County to see the redwoods.
This is the Conservatory of Flowers building and grounds

Here are several of the beautiful flowers we saw.
Sorry, we don't know the names of many of them.
