Wicked plants at the SF conservatory!

My 9-year-old son loves the book "Wicked Plants", by Amy Stewart. I'll bet he's read it five or six times now.

Now there is a show of such plants at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers! Billed as "mayhem under glass", the show includes a who's who of botanical rogues and assassins, such as the castor bean and the strychnine tree. It should be a ball. Check it out between now and October 30.

After reading the page, I would love to see the conservatory. This sounds awesome and freaky all at the same time. I think I will go buy the book, it's sounds interesting and frightening, can't wait to read it and looking forward to getting some seeds to replenish the earth.
