Although there weren't a lot of flowers in this first room,
there were plenty of plants with compensatory foliage. This
purple number looks like a glory bush to me (same coloring)
but of course, it isn't. It's something else altogether
as so many plants in this museum turned out to be. Note
to sticklers: I took no notes, and a lot of the plants shown
were rare, exotic species, so I'm making no attempt to identify
anything... [Washington, DC - February 2002]
