    Well found myself wandering around on my "lunch break" so figured would get some unique wood pictures. May need some members from Asia and South America to help with the BTU of these trees.

    Wandered down the west front of the Capitol and headed to the Botanical garden.

    Some huge willow oaks

    Ok finish up my "lunch break" with these pics. Have a great weekend everyone and feel free to move this if it does not meet the forum specifics here...

    Fruit tree's are really dense I hear so why not burn this beauty a Kumquat tree

    And since everyone has a problem or viewpoint on politics here is a special treat for the wood stove!:D:p
    Filled with tons of hot air, its light and would probably burn fast and hot I give you the Capitol firestarter kit

    Well we may as well end on some beautiful stuff since I threw politics in the mix:rootintootin:

    Nice orchids!

    I've got a green and white paphiopedilum like the second one you posted that's blooming now.
