Today, my mom was supposed to go out to some pumpkin patches on a farm in Maryland. But when she woke up, she called the farm and they said they were all closed up for the season because of the rain yesterday!
My mom was sad at first, but then she went to the farmers' market and took me to go play fetch in the park. I got really muddy. It was so much fun!
After we played fetch for a while, my mom decided to visit the United States Botanic Gardens. It was a nice sunny day today, so she didn't want to be cooped up inside. She didn't care that the puppy got cooped up!
Anyways, Mom took some pictures of the pretty plants she saw at the botanic gardens.
Did you know that the bird of paradise is the city flower for Los Angeles?
Photochallenge Day Twenty Five: Something Pink
She said that they had TONS of pretty orchids.
They even had some desert plants. Mom felt like she was back in California!
Day Twenty Three: Sunflare
They even had a cool greenhouse where my mom could walk around and look at the canopy layer of a man made jungle!
Mom really enjoyed herself and she got another opportunity to look at some pretty fall leaves before it snows again and ruins them all.
She even saw some holly berries and started to get excited for Christmas! I'm excited too. Last year, I got a whole pack of new balls on Christmas!
This is the "romantic" section of the garden. Mom didn't stop because she was by herself. She should have taken me!
Tell your Mom I loved pictures of sunflare and the orchids in pink.
