Earlier today, i was immersed in a plant wonderland at the United States National Botanical Gardens! orchids, palms, cycads, nepenthes, bromeliads, succulents, cacti, the list goes on and on!!! i went because my mom had heard that they had a new carnivore exhibit, and once she told me about THAT, i just HAD to go see the place!

there was soooooo much to see there, the CPs were just the tip (ok, mabey more than just the tip!) of the iceberg! i took loads of photos, i hope you guys here on TF like em!

HUGE GREENHOUSE!!
