Botanic Garden and Dollar Store Orchids
>
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.
