Botanical Building, Balboa Park, San Diego, California, USA
The soaring lath house, built for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition is one of the largest of its kind in the world and is flawlessly framed by a flower-trimmed lily pond. But this dramatic building within San Diego’s iconic Balboa Park is more than just a pretty face. Step inside the jungle-y interior to walk beneath towering tree ferns and a Technicolor display of exotic orchids and other showy blooms. The indoor collection includes some 2,100 tropical plants permanently on show, and seasonal flower displays, like special Easter lily shows in spring, add even more eye-popping beauty to the scene.
