Sunday Morning Andrea and I went to the United States Botanic Garden, a huge glass house full of climate zones, plants, flowers and a quilt and an Orchid Show.

I was amazed by these metallic sculptures, part of an exhibit on spices and plants.

I wanted to take home this glowing pomegranate.

I found the orange exhibit!

The orchids were organized in an alphabet theme. Here's my "e."

We went up to the second floor catwalk, a lovely teak walkway that rings one of the glass rooms. Perfect hiding place as long as there's a book and an iPod in your pocket.
