Almost forgot: Atlanta Botanical Garden

Alright, not much thoughts on this one except that it was hot and humid....

No seriously, I thought this is a very well organized place! Definitely worth the $15 if you care to see everything they have to offer. The dude who was with me basically took photos of every flower in the garden.... good for him!





There is something for everyone in this botanical garden. There is the kids park area where they themed it according to animals and bugs as well as fairytales. There's also the tropical green house and orchid garden, as well as outdoor sculptures by the famous futurist -- Henry Moore! So it's both a plant show and an art show. See, $15 was a bargin!













There are also the creatures in the park... they don't seem to give a sh*t about cameras! You can literally put your camera on them and they won't move a bit.... or maybe they are just obsessed to get their photos taken. What bimbos!







Some of the most interesting plants are more like animals. They are those bug-eating ones. There's the ones where they use some kind of beer or rum to lure desperate bugs into them, where they drown and digest their prey with the very beer/rum. Then there are those that clamps down on the prey as they fly into them, like SUPER MARIO WORLD!!!! They have these in a big pot like as if you can just buy a pot home. We were squatting there and poking these little things with a tweak. If I have a pot like this at home, I'd be poking them all day long. They are more addictive than popping bubble wraps!







Well, like I said, there's something for everyone here. Not that I will go back anytime soon, but it was a pleasant surprise to me, and I recommend anyone to pay it a visit!
