Discover the World of Orchids

A few weeks back we took a ride to see the US Botanic Gardens. It had been a while since we last visited Capitol Hill since we moved to northern Virginia last year. We used to walk by the gardens almost every day on our morning walk. Since it was almost spring, we wanted to see what was in bloom in the surrounding gardens and also check out the wonderful world of orchids. It is the 25th annual orchid exhibit and the gardens are celebrating a 200th anniversary. In the main entryway and exhibit hall was a worldwide tribute to the collection and transportation of orchids. The hall is typically outfitted with beautiful seasonal presentations and this was one of the best. It’s such a relaxing place to see the beauty of nature - especially when the sun is shining. We have never had much luck with orchids at home in spite of our best efforts. It was well worth the trip and we have never been disappointed.
