Orchid Exhibit

I read somewhere about an orchid exhibit in downtown Washington D.C. I knew immediately that I wanted to go and see the exhibit. I invited a couple of my friends to join me and one was able to come. 

Heather and I met at Metro Center and we walked to the museum where the orchid exhibit was located.

The exhibit was at the National Portrait Gallery courtyard.

The flowers were gorgeous! There were a lot of natural orchids as well as some hybrids. There were some pretty amazing colors. I loved it!

Enjoy the pictures below!

 I loved the color of this one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we finished at the orchid exhibit we decided to look around some other parts of the museum. The colorful paintings of this artist were fun to look at! (Read more about the painting above in the picture below.)

Since last Saturday, the cherry blossoms were close to peak and it was a really nice day outside, we decided to walk to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry blossoms there. But everyone else had that same idea and it was super crowded.

We got close to the Tidal Basin but ended up not going all of the way there because the crowds were too crazy. But we saw some pretty cherry blossom trees along the way.

 

 

 

After the Tidal Basin we headed to the metro to head home. 

Overall it was a nice day! Thanks Heather for joining me on this adventure.
