US Botanical Garden Visit

We walk through the US Botanical Gardens almost every day. But we don’t go inside the structure unless there is an exhibit of interest - like the Christmas trains, orchids, or stinky plants. But anytime we have out of town guests it is usually a place to stop in and wander about. It’s close to home and is just a pleasant experience. So we did just that when our friends from the Midwest arrived. It was their last day visiting and was a nice way to complete the early afternoon sightseeing. The orchid exhibit just ended, and the setting was less occupied than typical. The main lobby area seemed empty! But the beautiful fountain and exotic plants still abound. We ended up sitting in a section where the plant artists had an exhibit. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to go through the outside gardens - the rose garden was in full bloom. One can never get tired of the natural beauty. It’s a very relaxing place.
