I love them and it would be fun to have one again. The garden was very American in style in that it had structure without strict formality. The cypresses really made the garden work because it is small and could easily be overtaken by the surrounding buildings.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-77260037581046671462013-12-15T18:09:41.898-06:002013-12-15T18:09:41.898-06:00The two scenes couldn't be more different and ...The two scenes couldn't be more different and both were fun.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-90274162450141435022013-12-15T18:08:08.577-06:002013-12-15T18:08:08.577-06:00There are plenty of gardens to see when you includ...There are plenty of gardens to see when you include the many gardens around museums and associated with historical sites.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-65947877760068815732013-12-15T17:55:41.484-06:002013-12-15T17:55:41.484-06:00What a great trip...DC is one of my fav places to ...What a great trip...DC is one of my fav places to visit.

Interesting scenes, and there are a few Eucalypts that can take some intense cold, at least a few times. The Blue Atlas Cedar positioned so close to the building reminds me of that 1990's fad in Albuquerque...like a landscape date stamp! The formality but looseness of the first photos is really nicely done - maybe it's the bald cypresses' verticality?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-24027133451045510272013-12-15T09:47:45.454-06:002013-12-15T09:47:45.454-06:00So many beautiful sights to see in this city!

Thanks for the tours, so I know what to check out when I get back there next time.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
