had a fun time at The Leaf today…

went with a friend to see Flora of the Philippines…

we couldn’t figure out the new markers on many of the plants in the Tropical Biome, but eventually realized they represented the flag of the Philippines and demonstrated how many of the plants in the biomes originated there…

besides seeing where so many plants came from, there were hundreds of orchids… heaven for me…

what a treat…

after our wander through the biomes, we had lunch at Gather…

what a delightful way to spend time together;-)…
