Eric & I see the U.S.

Botanic Garden

Conservatory in

the distance.

Exposed: The Secret Life

of Roots is on exhibit.

This sculpture by Steve Tobin

is a work in progress.

Inside the building is
a riot of plants.

Lollipop Flowers

The waterfall is flanked

by plants found in

Hawaii.

 The Roots Display includes: Wheat, Sorghum, Leadplant, Prairie Cordgrass,
  Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Compass Plant, Western Wheatgrass,
  Little Bluestem & Soybean...  That's a lot of roots!

Eric spends time reading

details of the plant/root

display & touching roots.

religious ceremonies.

The array of plants here is astounding!  I feel refreshed by my walk in the Conservatory.
