One of my favorite places to visit in the DC area is
The United States Botanic Garden.
Each time I go I find different things that inspire me.

I loved these arbors with their display of living plants.
I'm always inspired by water features
and creeks. 
I have great plans to make one in my own backyard---when I get enough money, time, energy, and muscle.There are always beautiful hydrangeas to be found.
One of my favorite rooms inside is the orchid room
filled with stunning displays of orchids.
I love orchids!
Even though I have two living orchid plants, 
I couldn't resist buying a few of the silk variety
when I saw them at the dollar store, along with some reindeer moss.
With a little styrofoam secured in the bottom of some thrift store vases,
I just stuck in the end of the orchid (cut to length)
and filled the vase with moss.
This is the version I made for my daughter
using one of her beautiful thrifted vases.

I think the creeks and the hydrangea are my favorites.Thanks for sharing your visit with us.
What a beautiful place, Joy! I love the hydrangeas ~ mine are just starting to bloom now. I can't wait to cut some to bring in the house.
I´m also thinking about getting one of the faux ones since the real ones I´ve had have died or never flowered again. I think i´ll get another for my mum. and moss is so nice, too.
Chanced upon your blog while looking for home ideas. Great blog! Im your newest follower :)
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy/grandchild!
Definitely, Maybe
My aunt sent me here via your flag in an old window. So cute. I then noticed your the giant flag you made from bead board in 2008. I'm just wondering what size that flag is. I love it!
