One thing you need to know about me is that I really love orchids! They’re one of my favorite flowers. I’ve been growing them for a few years now. Here are a few of my phalaenopsis orchids that started to bloom. The big one is about 2 years old now and has bloomed 3 times already. The small pink/yellow/white one is about 2 years old also and this is the second time it bloomed. I’m waiting for my oncidiums to bloom within the next month! :)
I had an absolutely great time today in Washington DC. We went back to the National Mall to soak in more of the touristy landmarks.
The Museum of Natural History was one of my favorite museums. I just love nature, and to top it off, they had the “Orchids through Darwin’s Eyes” exhibit this month. Orchids are my favorite flowers! There’s also a huge fail whale floating on top of the ceiling inside. ;) Oh look, they even have a twitter account @NMNH!
By 5:30pm, we kept walking around the National Mall taking photos of the cherry blossoms and gardens. We had a wonderful dinner at Teaism. Yummy teas and delicious foods. It was one of the places Rachel Ray stopped at. ;)
We walked on over to the Union Station to stay warm and do some shopping. I managed to buy Washington DC cherry blossom scrapbook paper.. heh
Our last stop of the night was the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. We took a ton of photos and called it a night. Tonight is our last night out here in DC. We’ll be on a road trip to NYC tomorrow. Follow my tweets to see what city I end up being in next. :)
