NIce! I heard they had a carnivorous plant bog there too! Did you get any pics of that?

Was that an Aristolochia at the end? It must have smelled. I like the color mutant flamingo.

Only had a few hours before closing and the route we took didn't quite get us there in time. Thez probably has pictures from other visits.

Yep, gigantic maybe a foot in length or so. I didn't notice a scent but my nose isn't very sensitive and still slightly out of whack from a cold. These were growing on a wall near somebody's house.

Me too. And it was a light and tumble journey from Thez's place through the park (Balboa).

Yay you put them up! I went back to go look for some stuff...

Here's some spots to go with the toes we saw

and the arctic fox that was hiding

and the tigers that were hiding

and the bottom end of a ferocious monster that we didn't see last time

Yep, okapi Okapia johnstoni related to giraffes. You can see the resemblance in the head. Here's a few more picutres:
