I spent a magical afternoon at the US Botanic Gardens, in Washing, DC. I was particularly enthralled by a room filled with orchids. I watched as the light moved across the space, hitting individual plants like a spotlight. It felt like I could spend the rest of my life and still not see or notice all of the plants tucked into every nook and cranny of this very small room.
