\"Pabstia<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Eulophia<\/a>
\nA dozen orchids in my previous post about the US Botanic Garden (USBG)<\/a> were just the start. The first row of this post includes three more. There’s a great Pabstia species, and then a sunny, dangling Dendrobium<\/a>. The third picture shows a very unusual orchid. Eulophia petersii<\/em><\/a> is a desert species. Few orchids live in hot, dry deserts, but this orchid does, ranging from Yemen through eastern and southern Africa. Its blooms stood atop a tall flower spike, well above our heads, and were challenging to photograph. With menacing serrated edges on thick, succulent<\/a> leaves, this Eulophia looked at home in the Desert Gallery alongside pointy cacti and succulents.<\/p>\n

\"Weeping<\/a>\"Theobroma<\/a>\"Coffea<\/a><\/p>\n

The rest of the photos feature a few of the USBG’s non-orchid sights. There are views inside the glasshouse, with cacao pods, a star-shaped coffee flower, and lots of luscious greenery. The glasshouse is divided into 17 different zones, including a Children’s Garden, Mediterranean Gallery, Medicinal Garden, and of course, Orchid House. The largest zone is the Tropics House, which offers great perspectives from above in its second-story canopy walk. There are also spectacular outdoor gardens, but we were focused on the indoor ones for our visit. Even though it’s a small botanic garden, they pack lots of amazing plants into the USBG.<\/p>\n
