US Horticultural Building Photos: Part Two

We all really enjoyed our time at the US Horticultural Building, but we were all tired from all the hustle and bustle of the big city. Traffic was horrendous and there was wall to wall people everywhere. No wonder we country bumpkins were feeling a bit exhausted.

The boys were quite enthralled with all of the exhibits.

Can you tell this Grandma was tired. LOL I think I was sleeping when this photo was taken.

This is in the room known as the jungle. The entire area was lush and green with blooms here and there.

We all loved the orchids. These were quite large and entirely white except for the center, which was pink.

Then we ventured into the dessert. This was quite a learning experience for everyone. These are aloe plants and they were huge.

Cacti galore graced this room. There were cactus that I'd never even heard of.

This one was also huge. I can't remember the name of it now.

Water was flowing from this neat oasis.

The boys examining plants in the jungle.

More interesting jungle plants.

Running water...such a tranquil sound and the lush green plants complimented it nicely.

These beautiful orchids were spectacular.

These were quite different but really pretty.

These were my favourites. They were very large blooms and so pretty.

Orchids growing on a log. We really enjoyed our stay in the Horticultural Museum. It was probably our favourite place on the entire trip.

Tomorrow I will post what we did on Monday afternoon. It has to do with one of my favourite subjects.
