Hey everyone,

We just got back from a trip to D.C. where I was presenting at Main Interior. The presentation was to highlight my work that was part of an exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. While we were there, we checked out the other museums and I couldn't pass up the chance to explore the US Botanic Garden. It's free to visit, and it's wonderful. Here are a few of my favorite flowers I saw while we were there.
