Spring starts early here and a global collection of
plants create a tapestry of color, texture and fragrance that is sure to please
the senses and provide a welcome reminder that winter will yield to spring. Cymbidium
orchids, Chenille plant (Acalypha), African honeybush (Melianthus
major) and fireworks flower (Clerodendrum quadrilioculare)
compliment familiar flowering plants, such as snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus),
florists’ stock (Matthiola incana), regal geraniums (Pelargonium)
and primroses (Primula oboconica). The colorful
flowers, lush greenery and sweet fragrances are sure to lift the spirits of
those who tire of the wintery landscape outside. The display runs through Sunday, April 13 and is open daily from
10:00am-5:00pm. For more information, call 301-962-1400 or visit
