Aren't they beautiful?

Hillwood Estates
I'm still on vacation in Frederick, Maryland. My sister and I went downtown to see one of the Marjorie Merriweather Post estates, Hillwood, the other day. It is a beautiful estate with some incredible collections to enjoy. Ms. Post was an inveterate collector of Russian art and Sevres porcelain as well as all things beautiful that caught her fancy. The gardens, which are extensive, were mostly covered by snow and ice. Luckily the orchids were blooming in the greenhouses and I thought I'd share some of them with you while you await my return (cue the elevator music). If you're ever in the Washington, DC area, I'd highly recommend a visit to Hillwood.

Dang, I missed that one last time I was there when I ran a marathon. I did not even think about visiting the place. Next time. Thanks for the heads up!
You should definitely go if you get the chance. It's a neat place!
Wow! What fantastic photos! Amazing orchids.
@Funny - they were beautiful and a real sight for sore eyes in the middle of all the snow and cold in the Washington, DC area!
