As I said below, we did photograph a few of the orchids that we thought were particularly beautiful. I must say that Tim has an outstanding closeup lens on his iPhone, which my older model does not, although it’s not bad, either.
**************
We went to see the US Botanic Garden’s temporary exhibit, “Discover the World of Orchids,” on Sunday. We were hoping it would be similar to an exhibit they co-sponsored at the Hirschhorn Museum in 2017 that I photographed extensively https://pbase.com/helenpb/america_return_washington_orchids but sad to say it wasn’t and was in fact a bit underwhelming. Orchids are beautiful, and there were a lot of plants on display, but they were for the most part pretty common varieties and were spread out here and there over the entire large conservatory. We did take a few pictures of flowers we particularly liked, but ran into a neighbor there who had the same opinion of the display – that it could have been a lot better.
