US Botanic Gardens

The United States Botanic Garden.

During the late 18th century George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Maison shared the dream of having a national botanic garden and were instrumental in establishing one on the National Mall in 1820.

Just a few of the many large orchids on display, and a ring of moss and wire with succulents growing from it.
