How nice it would have been to spend the morning photographing at the USBG, but too much to do at NIH. We are installing a lovely little exhibit - drawings and a sculpture from the Longwood gardens.

LINES ON PAPER: HOW FANTASY BECOMES A GARDEN -- Opens Saturday. Through Jan. 15. See the work that goes into planned gardens with drawings, sketches and photos that look at the design and process behind the creation of the fanciful Children's Garden at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Penn. The show's highlights are the beautiful concept drawings of some of the garden's famous characters, including the Drooling Dragon, Spitting Fish, Pelican, Turtle and Hummingbird. U.S. Botanic Garden, 100 Maryland Ave. SW. Free. 202-225-8333.
