That just means you have to go back again!  That is my favorite spot in Balboa Park, a great source of inspiration.  So many wonderful plants presented in an intimate setting -- even the huge Caryota fits.  (Well, just barely.  Last time I was there the spear was smashing up against the ceiling.)

Thanks for the photos, please go back and take more.
