Evan, L, C, and I visited the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers to see an exhibit on carnivorous plants. We saw Venus Fly Traps, Pitcher Plants, Fly Paper Plants, and others.
A single trap, one pair of leaves, on a Venus Fly Trap plant can digest up to 3 small bugs and open about 5 times before the trap wilts. Fortunately, each plant has many traps.
In addition to the special exhibit, we visited most of the other rooms at the conservatory. Because it was hot and damp, we spent more time outside than inside. The boys found a tree to climb, we took a short hike, and we had a picnic lunch.

Evan's riddle: It can't be seen, it can't be touched, it's found nowhere, and if you eat it you will die (scroll down for the answer).
Answer to riddle: Nothing.

These pictures were taken by another photographer, though I edited them. My digital camera isn't powerful enough for this setting. This may be Evan's last Chinese New Year performance for a while, since it's likely he will be at another school next year.
