• Botanical garden_ Berkeley

  Botanical garden_ part 1 :
  
  
  Here come the picx that I took in Botanical Garden in Berkeley, damn, flowers are blooming, here you can see the largest flowers in the world and it only blooms once every 12-15 years or carnivorous plant that can eat insect, spiders and even RATS
  
  1. Titania_corpse flower _ blooms after 10-15 years of the corm's (like a bulb) growth and dormancy cycles. The flower stinks like a corpse when it blooms to attract carrion insects, which help pollinate it. When it blooms, the flower is huge. it is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. lucky me, I arrived right at the time the flower is blooming, fantastic,

  

  2.Carnivorous plant _ trap insect, spider and even RATS, amazing huh?

  

  3.  The coolest  Sundial : you can read the line : I ONLY COUNT THE SUNNY HOUR_ yeah, the handles of the clock measure the time based on the SUN SHADOW_
