San Diego Botanic Garden

While I was in San Diego, my friends and I walked around the botanical garden in Encinitas. It was the perfect day for it; the sun was hitting all the flowers and plants just right.

Isn’t this tree cute? And very aptly named!
We spotted a lizard! Kinda looks like it’s doing the iconic Little Mermaid rock pose
Lucky for us, the sapphire towers were in bloom when we went
I love the shape of these flowers. I can see why they’re called Brazilian plumes — they remind me of little plumes of feathers.
Ti plants are so beautiful. The red and pinkish varieties might be my favorites.
Cacti and succulents were featured heavily here. You can’t find those at just any botanical garden!
The bamboo garden was closed, but we were still able to walk around the edges and get a glimpse at some of it.
Did you know that a banana is an herb? Because banana trees don’t have a woody trunk, they are categorized as herbaceous perennials, botanically speaking.
This plant is called the ribbon bush or tapeworm bush because its jointed stems look like the segmented body of a tapeworm.
If you look close, you can find it — another little lizard!

Thank you for looking at these photos I took and reading along! I hope you enjoyed ♡
