Large specimen Anthurium in a suitably-proportioned antique urn in the Conservatory of Flowers, an elegant Victorian-era greenhouse that is one of the landmarks of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

Made of wood and glass, it was built - from a kit - in 1878, and opened to the public in 1879.

The Conservatory suffered severe damage in 1995 after a devastating windstorm swept through San Francisco. A five-year, $25 million campaign to save the Conservatory resulted in many needed upgrades to the facility and it reopened to the public in 2003.

It is designated as a city, state and national historic landmark.

San Francisco, California.
