Quail Botanical Garden San Diego
 
My family stopped in San Diego for a few nights enroute to LA. Today I went to Quail Botanical Gardens and was amazed at the height of the banana plants. They have several varieties planted with a lot fruiting. Sadly a lot of their

Cannas had the virus. Overall it was still a very nice visit. My wife was at Legoland with my son and had the digital camera. I do have a bunch of shots with my digital phone.

I'm so jealous of people living in San Diego. Beautiful city.

What "virus"?

I love Quail botanical garden as well. My favorite section is the bamboo groves.

I know what you mean. My wife and I went to the San Antonio Botanical Garden this spring and they had a huge Brazilian there. I took a few photos with my phone, but they do nothing to show the massive size of the plant. I am 6'2" and I bet it was three times my height. They had a nice collection of banana plants outside also. A great place to go to get ideas.

I have an album in my gallery of some shots I took while at SABG about three years ago. They do have some nice bananas.

Well I'm back in New Jersey now :( 14 states in 11 days! My new truck went from 180 miles to 7200 haha

My wife thought I was nuts because the first thing I wanted to do in San Diego was visit the Botanical Garden :) I just wish we brought 2 cameras. She went with my son to Lego Land while I was drooling over the bananas.
