Downtown DC Day 2

I woke early for my final day of touring and sight-seeing. My day started off by walking to the FDR Memorial, followed by a 2 mile stroll to the Botanical Garden.

FDR Memorial

This is a beautiful memorial with several water features and inspirational quotes. 

Highly recommend visiting this in the future if you can.

Botanical Garden

This is my favorite shot.

 I love this idea for a crawling, creeping roses or clementines. 

It's much more elegant than a regular arbor or flat lattice.

These are really popular lately, especially in the design and decorator circles. 

I think they're called Stag ferns or deer ferns. They grow well when mounted on a wall.

I love this seersucker plant! I looks just like my favorite summer fabric! 

I wonder which came first-- the plant or the fabric?  

This reminds me of something from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

 

I can't wait to go back and visit the sites that I didn't find time for!
