The Wild Bunch: Succulents, Cacti and Fat Plants
At the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park
This summer, the Conservatory of Flowers gets rough and tumble as it continues to
celebrate some of the more ornery gangs of the plant world in a new exhibition. 
Set amongst the rusty remnants of an old ghost town, The Wild Bunch, on view through
October 16, explores the strange and dramatic world of water hoarding plants, bristling
with living examples of cacti, fat plants (also known as caudiciforms) and other
 succulents. These fleshy, and often thorny, plants are distinguished for their 
ability to survive the most extreme, arid conditions, and their swollen stems and
leaves come in a stunning variety of weird shapes and unexpected colors. Click here

The Girls of Summer
Mayor Ed Lee greeted members of four San Francisco Bay Sox teams at Civic Center
 on August 2 to congratulate the players on their participation in this year's Baseball
for All Tournament that wrapped up in the city last week. The tournament is the 
nation's largest all-girls baseball competition, and San Francisco was well represented.
Our 13U team made it to the championship game and the 16U finished in a solid third
place.
Enjoy this week's Video of the Week [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001BBAOKqOjPUH6Xd_4GjIXVw92fv69SGUyCzLj-3v0Yj7uTM62lJNpCt1VZ_sovPifw2mkWdDTq6whQ1QL0fmQ1Ml2yRdfbYF48jZiKfdFw8UfxKss_H9xIQMRsg7b4OcYz6e5ypZFnbORlpPp25dsRV28lAcNMKecm7NsnnmCWH5BVBMb8sR4Iw==&c=F_z9RoNTAxHRSVFVrY9grqpU75QiZn306oXFLAx1c6dvYpNz6MYWMw==&ch=VyhkGwZIX6Q12ce4XtbTsSJlG9orHU9QDZe5FndEfVi5Fgyktdw1RA==],

The Boys of Summer
Here's some more great baseball news! Congratulations to the San Francisco Youth
 Baseball League (SFYBL) 12U All-Star team, which recently competed in the Pony 
League Western States Tournament in Southern California. After winning the regionals
and super-regionals earlier this summer, the team came in third place in this most
recent tournament, the furthest any team on the peninsula has ever advanced, and
 the first municipal team to do so. Great job, All-Stars!
