Save more endangered plants—support the Garden! 🌴 In July, the Garden’s Andean Wax Palms (Ceroxylon quindiuense) flowered for the first time ever in our Andean Cloud Forest collection. Experts believe this is the first Ceroxylon quindiuense to flower in North America. 🌴 The Andean Wax Palm is endangered, and San Francisco Botanical Garden is one of just five gardens worldwide (outside of Latin America) to house a collection of them. Our special foggy climate allows unique plants to flourish and your support enables us to continue our efforts to save and propagate rare, vulnerable, and endangered plants. 🌴 Donate Today!
