I went to the Lamberton Conservatory in Rochester, NY yesterday. Well worth the paltry $3 entry fee. Cool plants and also turtles and tortoises and little birds crawling and hopping around underfoot.

A sploot of turtles. My new collective noun of the day.

Aristolochia gigantea. I feel like the common name could be lung plant, or liver-and-gall-bladder plant, depending on whether you see the little green parts or not.

Is this at the LA county arboretum? Here is a picture I took recently
@dillyd We live in such a weird and wonderful world.
@dillyd Sploot. I like that. Great image, too.
@dillyd Very nice sploot, indeed! ☺️ πŸ‘ 🐒
@dillyd
They look like red eared sliders, had a couple as pets when I was young. 😎
@dillyd yet another wonderful new word learned....that's two today! aaaannnnd, those turtles have just the right idea and posture, so now I'm going in search of warm rocks.
@dillyd Love love love following you on here.
Thanks for brightening my days πŸ’›
Nice! Looks like a beautiful place! πŸ₯°πŸ™Œ
@dillyd I would have thought that the tortoises would have been hibernating by now?
