The historic Botanical Building was one of the world's largest wood-lath structures when built in 1915

I especially liked the flesh-eating plants, do you have more mix of them?

Nepenthes, the last picture, is a flesh eating plant. An excellent specimen, when mature, it can eat a rodent.



Or I might be wrong, looks very similar.

Which picture are you referring to? I didn't see any in the photos. I think you mean carnivorous plants, though. There were some Paphiopedilum orchids, which have a pouch, which might have made you think of 'flesh-eating'.

I really like the Paph. lowii!! Very nice!

Sunfish - nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I've only been to San Diego once, and only went to the zoo. I remember Balboa Park being there, but don't recall going in.

Nice. Looks like Nepenthes maxima, or something similar.
